No individual reviews?

While I commend the details in the rest of the article body, I see that the "Critical response" section does not reference any individual reviews at all. I'm not sure why this article was nominated for Good Article status with this underdeveloped section? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:23, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Film#Critical_reception says "detailed commentary from reliable sources regarding the critics' consensus (or lack thereof) is encouraged" but not necessary, though I'll unnominate it and expand. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 19:37, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a better term could be used, but that line is intended to encourage the addition of coverage that summarizes what critics thought. For example, for Panic Room, a chapter about that film covered what critics thought, and I recapped it this way: "Critics called Panic Room 'a high-tension narrative'. They compared the film to the works of Alfred Hitchcock, both positively and negatively. Several critics thought the film was too mainstream after Fincher's Fight Club." Rotten Tomatoes's critics' consensus is probably the typical default coverage for that kind of summary. Maybe it's always gone without saying to sample individual reviews, so the MOS never needed to say, please include them. If you thought that guideline was confusing, we can talk at WT:MOSFILM about phrasing it differently. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 20:30, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, while this is not in the guidelines, I like to use Metacritic's distribution of positive, mixed, and negative reviews for balancing a section with individual reviews. It says 20 positive and five mixed (with zero negative), so proportionally, you could sample four positive reviews and one mixed. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 20:36, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. Fixes look good so i'm passing the article. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:18, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

Lead

"they collaborated 'a team of executive producers, including Spike Jonze, to obtain the $10 million budget." Needs to be a with before a.
"During post-production, editing was completed by Michael Taylor and Jeff Betancourt and the musical score was composed by Antônio Pinto." Should be a comma after Betancourt.

Plot

"His only company is Kyo, who acts as a sort of supervisor making sure Will selects the best candidate and assisting him with the process." Add comma after supervisor.
"he now indicates that in his previous life he once gave a theater performance that made him feel alive, but never pursued his passion after that." add comma after life but remove comma after alive.

Development

"securing funding for the film proved difficult as the producers had been turned down by a number of specialty distributors," It'd probably be better to just say several."

Filming

"Filming would start on Saturdays and end on Wednesdays with two-day breaks in-between." I don't think a hyphen is needed.

Release

"The film opened the Austin Film Festival on October 22, 2021." This sentence is confusing. A rewording would be better imo.

Critical Response

"Peter Debruge from Variety gave positive notes to the story, production design, cinematography, and score, and categorized it as the "rare work of art that invites you to re-consider your entire worldview." Remove comma after score.

That's all for prose!

Development

Juniper, Nowhere, Space program, Mansa, Oak street, Baked, and datari is not supported by the citation (though all you need to do is place citation 5 there).

Filming

" The "real world" scenes, projected only through the televisions in Will's house, were filmed in the span of three weeks in Salt Lake City, Brazil, and Los Angeles" Can't verify this with the given citations or maybe i'm just wrong.

That's it. By the way, when I question why a source is considered reliable I'm not saying the source isn't reliable. I'm just being picky with sources I'm not familiar with and want to make sure.
