I chose it because it was short, C-Class and on a topic I enjoy. Japanese Film of the Golden Age featuring my favorite actress of the Era.

Lead Section

 * The overview is brief, concise and hits on key points, none of which are excluded from the rest of the article

Content & Overall Impressions

 * The content present is good, if not a bit brief and could benefit from more scholarly sources from Japanese critics and authors (Tadao Sato) from editors that are bilungual. Maybe this is a gray area and would take away from the professionalism of the article, but I would include snippets from her autobiography. It seems to be free of grammatical errors, the links work, and the tone is neutral throughout. The layout, from a brief history to her filmography and awards is clear and organized neatly. I think the last two paragraphs are a bit overstuffed with quotations that feel a bit like filler, but that is simply my opinion. I believe a deeper dive into the genre of Japanese women's films and her importance to them would enhance the article. Her filmography could be expanded on.  The images could be better, and more consistent with their captions (the first labels her by only her given name Hideko and the last one refers to her by her surname Takamine in 1954 and excludes any mention of the film the image is from). Unfortunately the talk page doesn't seem to be have been updated in 6 years.  The article could benefit from newer scholarship in the area of Japanese film.
