Pitchfork article

An anonymous user has twice removed this text from the Critical reception section:

"Sarah Sahim, writing for Pitchfork, called the film "an egregious mess that romanticizes a woman’s struggles with an eating disorder for the sake of Murdoch’s self-promotion", and criticised the film's lack of racial diversity: "a microcosmic view of what is wrought by racial exclusivity that is omnipresent in indie rock."[19]"

This should be included in the article, regardless of our personal feelings about the film or whether we agree with Sahim's views.

Pitchfork is a trusted, high-profile source. Yes, it's a music news site, but it occasionally covers other media too, and the subject matter (a musical by a high-profile indie musician) is closely tied to music. The article should report the reception of the film by critics and academics.

Arguments about how another user removed the text before don't stand up. So far, two users have removed this text and two (myself and Jockzain) have re-added it (three if you include the anonymous user who added it in the first place). But of course, Wikipedia is not a democracy, so that doesn't matter anyway.

Incidentally, I suspect the user who first removed this text was involved in the film's production in some way, and might even have been Stuart Murdoch himself. The IP was located in Chicago and Stuart tweeted that he was in Chicago around that time - the same time he was venting on Twitter about how much the article upset him. (Are you reading this, Stuart? Sorry. Big fan.) Popcornduff (talk) 22:03, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
