Weber-Fève, Stacey. “Housework and Dance as Counterpoints in French-Tunisian Filmmaker Raja Amari’s Satin rouge.” Quarterly Review of Film and Video 27, no. 1 (2010): 1-13.

How to improve this article
You have contributed some great content to this page! To improve this article, however, you should expand on your prose to reach 500 words. You should add some information about Raja Amari beyond a description/analysis of a single film. You should draw from some of the sources in your annotated bibliography that you don't reference here.

Thank you for the feedback! I have added more sources from my annotated bibliography, expanded my prose to reach nearly 800 words, and put in further information about a second film. Musiclove44 (talk) 03:16, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Peer Review
This is overall a article. Your lead gives a good summary without repeating the entire article. However, under "Career", I think you could elaborate on who Stacey Weber-Feve is academically. Is she a film theorist? What book did she write? Why does her opinion matter? You could also elaborate on how specifically Amari's work is "transvergent". I think that the sentences about Amari's influences and her quote from IndieWire should be in the same paragraph because they are of similar subject matter. You have a lot of good sources. Overall, great article!

Hi, overall this article is looking great so far. The description for the film Satin Rouge is well written and goes into great detail. One little change that might be good to make is putting "Her film" in front of "Buried Secrets" in the lat sentence in the early life section. If possible, including more information about her life past her education could improve the article. Ewenstruemental (talk) 02:21, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
