Which article are you evaluating?
French New Wave

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 it because I find a great interest in the art movement of French Wave, and 70 years later it continues to inspire filmmakers worldwide, and it continues to influence films we see today. My preliminary impression of it was that though it listed many contributors to both the "Left Bank," and "Right Bank" groups, it didn't provide a clear enough distinction between the groups and their differences, but that it described well the cinematic style of the movement itself.

Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.) I felt that the first paragraph of the lead was an amazing and concise way of describing the art movement, but that the second and third paragraphs, describing the origin of French New Wave and the cinematic style it pioneered, could've been placed in the "Origins of the Movement, and "Film Techniques" sections, respectively. I think overall, the article has a neutral tone and seems unbiased. To further improve, I feel that a greater explanation of the distinctions and differences between the "Left Bank" and "Right Bank" groups would add better understanding of that section. I also think it's great to add so many contributors to the "Influential names in the New Wave" list, but what would be more helpful would be to provide a brief example of their importance/contribution to the movement.
