Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I was required to. This article is based on a film that we watched for class. It was quite short and has a few components that could definitely be improved upon.

Overall, this article is not composed very well, but it does have some good components as well. The lead section is actually not bad. I think it does a solid job at introducing the reader to what this shirt film is about. It provides the year it was published, who the director is, and states a similar film. The content of this article is pretty bad. The plot section, which takes up the main portion of this short article, is not well written at all. It provides an extremely short summary of what happens in the movie without actually telling the reader any valuable information, it has confusing hyperlinks that do not seem to match the topic they are linked to, and it even seems to include some bias which is not allowed on Wikipedia. The tone and balance is fairly decent except for the aforementioned bias that is included in the last sentence of the Plot section. The sources and references seem fine, but it is the hyperlinks that I am not a fan of as some of them lead to other Wikipedia pages that seem strange. The article is organized but the writing quality within the article is not good. There is little information and some information seems out of place in the wrong section. There is only one picture on the entire article and it is the movie poster, which is appropriate. The talk page is written by kids that are in this class so I like what people have to say on the talk page regarding changes that should be made. Overall, this article is not very high quality. Whoever originally wrote it did not seem like they put a lot of effort into writing a high quality article, and I am assuming that not enough people visit this particular article to make any substantial changes to make it better.
