Peer Review -- Christine Crais
I think adding this information about the various awards she has received is extremely important. I also like that you highlighted that she is the first woman in eight years to be nominated for that category. It is a great way to emphasize the lack of diversity within the industry in a neutral way and without being too opinionated. I think a focus on her indie and mumblecore work would be very interesting. I think if you continue to find more information on her life and how/why she makes films in this style that would be very helpful. That one article is extremely gossipy -- I noticed that as well while researching to find a filmmaker.

Sophie Siegel Peer Review
I think it's really important that you enhance Gerwig's Wikipedia page, especially because of her rising influence on cinema today! Her Wikipedia page is definitely lacking a lot of information, especially about her early life and influences. I like how you edited her Honors and included her recent accolades and nominations for Lady Bird. It's important for the viewers to understand how critically acclaimed her work is. I think it would be interesting to research how her acting experience and education impacted her cinematic style, especially because Lady Bird is very unique in its style and form. From what I know about the film, Lady Bird seems vaguely auto-biographical in how many similarities of Gerwig's own life. How much of Lady Bird is biographical of Gerwig's own life is a very interesting topic. It could be of interest to research how she represents her own subjectivity through her directing style, since she is used to being in front of the camera.

I think that your research is off to a good start, and you make a good point about what should be excluded from Gerwig's page, or possibly expanded on. It could be important to research how her history of mental health issues has impacted her as a person, and as a director and actor? Also, it could be interesting to research how her political and social views have impacted her cinematography--which could potentially add to the section about the controversy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssieg22 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Professor Schreiber feedback
Natalie - This is terrific work. Your additions are substantive and well-sourced. I would consider some of your peer reviewers' suggestions for how to further enhance her site but overall, this is in great shape. MJSProf (talk) 15:03, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
