Which article are you evaluating?
The Secret in Their Eyes

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I just ended up there after browsing some of the C Class articles. I want to evaluate it because it is arguably the greatest Argentine movie of all time and I want to see if it has a fitting wikipedia article.

Evaluate the article
I think the lead is pretty good. The first sentence focuses a bit too much on who directed it and such, but it's all accurate and gives you an idea about some of the most important things (it's a crime film, it's argentine). Additionally, the plot description in the lead is very good and concise, communicating key information in just a couple of sentences. While I like the mention of all the prizes it won, I would have appreciated a little nod to the impact the film had in Argentina, and not just the prizes it won internationally.

The content of the article is all accurate to my knowledge. All the aspects touched on are relevant, and I especially liked the context section, but I wish more had been done to cite how influential the movie had been. The reception section is quite light, and only discusses reviews. I would love to see some nod to the influence the film had on Argentine filmmakers, and more on its impact abroad.

The article, to my eyes, is fairly neutral. The authors do not gush over the film or criticize it personally, and only cite the awards it won.

The sources all seem to link to a real place, and most of them are from reliable sources, but my criticism appears about the lack of Argentine sources. This may be due to language limitations of the editors.

In the talk page, it seems like many editors have discussed the plot section at length, and successfully improved it. One way I thought the talk page was interesting is that people seem to be arguing a lot about whether parts of the political context are truly relevant to the movie. I think this is really important, as while many things in the context are true, there are also tons of things that you don't actually need to know to understand the movie at all. And, the focus being on just spitting out facts, it may actually fail to do what it wants to do, help you better understand the movie. This isn't something I noticed on first reading, but the talk page brought it to my attention.
