Coming-of-age categories[edit]

I removed Coming-of-age categories. The movie is described in the intro as an American dark fantasy film, no more. It is not Coming-of-age story and no references call it that. That category is WP:NOTDEFINING for this movie and as such does not belong. Justification for adding it was WP:OR personal opinions not backed up with explicit well-referenced descriptions as that as a genre. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:56, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Critical response bias[edit]

According to Rotten Tomatoes, half the reviews were negative, and there had to be quite a few scathing ones to bring Metacritic score down to 56. Where are they? I counted a lot of glowing praise, a few lukewarm reviews and only one negative review (Roeper's) in the article. 93.136.100.17 (talk) 20:38, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is stating the facts, sufficient for the article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:02, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is stating some of the facts and omitting others. What was the base of the criticism? You can't learn that reading this secton. 93.136.100.17 (talk) 23:34, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks to be balanced in the quality of the info provided. The negative comments well-represent that position. A person reading the article will have a good understanding of the what reviewers considered good and bad about the film. The tag is unnecessary. If you do think more coverage is needed on the negative side a better way to improve the article is to provide it. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:26, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I read the article and I don't have a good understanding. How am I supposed to provide coverage on information I don't have? Isn't the whole point of maintenance templates to let other people more knowledgeable in the subject know about gaps in coverage that we don't have time, skill or knowledge to fix? 93.136.100.17 (talk) 02:59, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
