Evaluate the article
Lead Section


 * The lead is a good description about the articles topic.
 * It has some information regarding the sections present in the article.
 * It contains some information not present within the article (it's similarities to "La finta nonna").

Content


 * All of the information is relevant to the topic.
 * The information is up to date.
 * The article is missing some content. Since "La finta nonna" is referenced in the lead, it should be mentioned later within the article.
 * It is an under represented topic I guess?

Tone and Balance


 * It is mostly neutral, but there is some analysis, rather than straight fact.
 * None of the claims seem particularly biased.
 * No over or under represented topics.
 * No minority or fringe viewpoints.
 * I don't believe the article attempts to persuade the reader.
 * There is a slight persuasive undertone regarding the innocence of Little Red's character. Does not have another source showing that analysis, seems like the author's.

Sources and References

Organization and Writing Quality
 * Most of the evidence has sources. Some do not.
 * The sources are pretty vague. 3/5 of them just show that the film has received awards.
 * They are current enough for the topic.
 * Not a diverse spectrum of authors.
 * I think that they found all the important links. There aren't many sources on this film.
 * 5/6 of the links worked. One would not load.


 * It is easy enough to read.
 * I did not notice any grammatical or spelling errors.
 * The sections are pretty good. Would possible benefit from more sections.

Images and Media


 * No images.
 * There are no images to caption.
 * No images to meet copyright guidelines.
 * No images.

Talk Page Discussion


 * Most of the discussion is about eliminating author analysis/opinion from the article.
 * It is rated is a Start-Class project. t is part of a WikiProject Film.
 * Wikipedia is attempting to eliminate user interpretation, while class discussion is there to facilitate our own interpretation.

Overall Impressions


 * The article is not very good.
 * I would not say it has any particular strenghts.
 * The weaknesses are mostly related to the use of user interpretation and lack of sources.
 * This article is poorly developed. There is very little information.
