Lead

 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? no it just introduces the topic.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? no its all included.
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? its pretty concise I think it didn't have to say that the film is similar to another in the lead.

Content

 * Guiding questions

 * Is the content up-to-date? yes
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? It has some opinions on there.I think that doesn't belong.
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? no I just talks about the film

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral? no I think the author interprets the plot in the plot section a little too much.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? the author speaks on a lot of non concrete facts like says that she is portrayed as less innocent and I don't think there was a source on that.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? I think everything is underrepresented because the whole article is pretty short and doesn't say much.
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? I think the article just makes you think or expect something from the movie before seeing it. like the tone and character behaviors.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? no there are barely any sources that back up facts
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? one source doesn't work but others have just a little basic information.
 * Are the sources current? I think they're good because there aren't many sources to tell anyway.
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible? no
