Peer review[edit]

The Wikipedia page on Dee Rees was well done. The article written was insightful and gave a various amount of information on the film maker. Two strengths to the article includes the amount of information given, as well as the article was well written will little spelling and grammar mistakes. In one area to improve, would be to give more insight on the filmmakers early life and personal life.

Peer review from classmate EmoryStudentSuperstar[edit]

Hii Carmen! I'm reviewing your article. Here are some suggestions I have after reading it:

1. See if you can find some more about her early life and background, because right now you only have one short sentence.

2. Talk a little bit more about how she converted Pariah from a short film into a feature film.

3. Organize the "Career" section a bit more. Maybe since she only has three feature films, make them subheadings? It just seems a bit jumbled.

4. Consider merging some of the sentences where you're talking about what the films are about. Also, the awards and superlatives seem a little much, especially the Mary J. Blige thing.

5. In the last three lines of the "Career" section, instead of using language like "recently signed," "was given the chance," "now," "upcoming," and "will," write the actual dates, because soon it will get outdated.

6. The things written about Pariah and Mudbound in the "Personal life" section can be omitted or integrated into what is already written about those films in the "Career" section.

7. In the "Filmography" section, put "Shorts" before "Features" because it is more chronological that way.

Overall, things are pretty good. It could just use a little bit of cleaning up (content-wise) and organizing :)
