Comments That's enough for a first pass, so I'll put it on hold while we deal with these. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 14:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * " British dance drama film" this is a WP:SEAOFBLUE. Doubtful of the utility of linking British or dance for our readers.
 * "earning £73 million (US$109.3 million) on a £3 million budget (US$5 million) worldwide." better as  "earning £73 million (US$109.3 million) worldwide on a £3 million budget (US$5 million)."
 * Why are budgets in the infobox initially in $ whereas the lead has it initially in £ and it's a British movie?
 * Figures are now given only in USD, as per their sources. I think we should just stick to USD, as providing the £ conversion now would just be an estimate. (I did take a look at 2015 British films and only USD is given.)
 * soup kitchen could be linked.
 * Don't link major geographical entities like London.
 * "Terraced homes used.." fragment, no full stop. If you added "were" between homes and used, keep the full stop.
 * Ellipsis needs non-breaking spaces either side.
 * "The BBC also financed" why "also"? And consider linking BBC.
 * " in total[5] before" nasty placement, move to after punctuation.
 * "On 3 June 1999..." whole para is unref.
 * I was unable to find a source to cite any of that, so I've added a new paragraph of details.
 * Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Lynemouth are overlinked.
 * "Billy Elliot advert" italics for title of movie.
 * Also would make that "advertisement" for encyclopedic tone.
 * Dancer in the Dark has a small "i" for In.
 * "on Blu-ray Disc on" remove "Disc".
 * "...on 10 January 2012." unref.
 * "Roger Ebert gave the..." who is he?
 * "the BBC gave" you linked BBC this time, but in italics now?
 * Recipients in the table, would expect them to sort by surname.
 * I've re-jiggled the recipients for each award, however, current structure is fine as Awards should be presented alphabetically (eg. Academy Awards first)
 * The names of the actors should sort by their surname. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 16:22, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, but how can I do that without compromising the order of the Awards and their Categories? If I sort the entire table by surname, the awards will no longer be grouped and there would be a lot of repetition. Just Lizzy(talk) 18:15, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Using sortname? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 18:19, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I see thanks, I've added sortname to the actors and this now sorts it by surname. Just Lizzy(talk) 11:34, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "reviews[53] and ran " move that ref to end.
 * Ref titles shouldn't be using spaced hyphens, they should use spaced en-dashes.
 * No SHOUTING in ref titles.
 * Consistent formatting of things like Rotten Tomatoes (italics or no?)
 * Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, CinemaScore and BBC don't need italics, but all other media publications do. (example, see Mulholland Drive)
 * But your usage in the article and references is inconsistent. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 16:23, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I've resolved the one for BBC. I can't control the italics in the references, however. Hoping the rest is okay now. Just Lizzy(talk) 18:15, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure you can. Either chose   (italics) or   (not italics).  But consistency is needed. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 18:19, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I've updated them again in article and refs, and should be consistent now. Just Lizzy(talk) 11:34, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * BAFTA awards refs need better titles.

Thanks for the review! I've addressed all the above comments, and replied to some of them. I've also done a cleanup of the prose, thanks <b style="color:#FF4500">Just Lizzy</b>(<b style="color:#FF4500">talk</b>) 16:13, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * responded to a couple of those. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 16:23, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Okeydokes, happy with this now meeting GA criteria. Well done, promoting. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:35, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
