Both articles are newly written, sourced throughout. AGF on offline sources, but the hook fact about the first assisted suicide on film is available via Google Books. The Variety article and others appear to be offline, which is fine. I trust you. Articles appear to be written neutrally. Two QPQ are provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:35, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
