Review by violet/riga

 * Coverage and factuality: 6
 * Good coverage of the impact of the film, but it could do with more filming details; poor referencing


 * Writing style: 8
 * Some informal language, but generally of a high quality


 * Structure: 7
 * The lead is too short and needs to better summarise the film, but the structure is good


 * Aesthetics: 8
 * A screencap would greatly improve the article


 * Overall: 7

A good article in many respects, but does not go into enough detail about the filming and release (location, takings etc.) and needs better referencing. violet/riga (t) 20:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Review by DMurphy

 * Coverage and factuality: 6
 * Sketchy referencing with no standard format. Good analysis but the synopsis needs an expansion.  Too much about the impact of the film and too little about the film itself.


 * Writing style: 5
 * Far too many parentheticals; the lead seems very awkwardly written. Good vocabulary but far too unencyclopaedic; if the parentheticals were removed, the article would be about half as long.


 * Structure: 6
 * Needs a longer lead; the section on Analysis falls the way of covering the Controversy of the film a little too much; the Blasphemy Allegations section should be renamed Controversy.

I agree with violet here, a shot from the film would be beneficial.
 * Aesthetics: 8
 * Overall: 6

Needs a re-write desperately before anything else is added, then the holes in the article can be addressed. -DMurphy 22:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
