Infobox
- About the poster caption, "Theatrical release poster" will do nicely.
- The "starring" parameter is way too long. Just leave the names from Yoshiki to Taiji, besides they are the top-billed cast in the poster.
- Just leave Drafthouse Films as the official distributor of this movie, Per WP:FilmDist, the distributor(s) should be restricted to the country or countries that produced the film. The same rationale goes to the "release date" parameter, I suggest removing the UK and Japan release dates.
- I don't think the runtime you provide is correct. The BBFC, which is the recognized reliable source for this parameter per Template: Infobox film, says that the movie runs at 101 minutes. [1]
- According to The Numbers, the movie had an $84,113 worldwide gross, something you might wanna add in the "gross" parameter.
Lead
For the most part, important aspects of the article are covered here, but...
- the band's break up 1997 and reunion in 2007, - in 1997
- plus interviews and contributions from western musicians such as... should be Western
- We Are X won the Sundance Film Festival Award for "Best Editing" ... South by Southwest's Audience Award for "Excellence in Title Design" the quotes are unnecessary since this is a distinction, hence the uppercase.
Plot summary
- While everything is verified in the source given, this section should be self-contained per WP:FILMPLOT since the movie itself is the source. However, I'm not quite sure if this is permissible on a case-by-case basis. Maybe I'll just request for a second opinion regarding this.
- refs 4 and 5 don't have their own authors inline, please give credit where it is due.
Production
- Again, please provide attribution to original authors of references 2, 8, 12 and 13 inline
- The documentary was announced on July 4, 2015. I believe it's July 5.
- Yoshiki was convinced to do the film by his agent, Marc Geiger of William Morris Endeavor, and according to Kijak, - should be "and according to director Stephen Kijak,"
- Director Stephen Kijak said... Kijak said
- Wikilink for principal photography since not many know this filmmaking jargon, when in reality, it just means "the film shoot".
- About the "Title design" subheader, remove the quotes in Excellence in Title Design
More later. In the meantime, here are a few things to start with. Bluesphere 05:07, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Release
- Probably best to divide this section into three subheaders: a "Theatrical run and box office" (reports about the movie's premiere at festivals, theaters, and such), "Critical reception" (critics' reaction to the movie), "Home media" (DVD/Blu-ray release and sales), and "Accolades" (awards, nominations, and recognitions received by this movie)
- We Are X was scheduled to have its "world premiere" Is there a reason that "world premiere" should be enclosed with quotation marks? The same goes to, It had its "US premiere".
- There should be a report about how much did this movie earned at the box office. According to The Numbers, the movie earned $45,270 in the US and Canada, and $84,806 worldwide. Please do add this, under "Theatrical run and box office" subsection I requested. [2]
Soundtrack
Reception
- The second, third, and fourth paragraphs of this section should be moved into the "Home media" subsection I requested atop the "Release" comments; whereas the fifth paragraph to the "Home media" subsection I also requested per above.
- We Are X received positive to mixed reviews. Unreferenced.
- Metacritic gave We Are X a rating of 64 out of 100 based on 10 reviews. What does the site's 64% rating indicates, is it "mixed reviews", "generally favorable"?
- Ian Wolf, writing for On The Box, praised the film saying, "it brings together the music and both the on-stage and off-stage personas of the band, especially Yoshiki, to tell a great story. It is a story that deserves to be told, mainly because X Japan has earned the right to be heard. Perhaps just replace this review with a much more encouraged print review. Replace it with the one from The New York Times: [3]. Might wanna add these reviews from mainstream papers, too: [4], [5], [6]. (Please don't forget to add the authors inline.)
- Refs 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 44 have no authors inline. Please add.
- Francis Rizzo III from DVD Talk meanwhile added that: "Impressively, throughout the down times and over the course of the film's brisk 95 minutes, the energy never feels like it's dipping. To be able to hold an audience's interest in a documentary about a band whose songs are completely foreign (no pun intended), is the sign of a film well made." Just move this to the "Home media" subsection I requested per above, and maybe change the author's comments into ones about his reaction to DVD/Blu-ray transfer, instead.
- The Hollywood Reporter said that while the film does cover the deaths of two X Japan members..." Whose comments from THR? The same goes to this one, The Guardian gave the film a rating of three stars out of five, whose Guardian staff was this comment attributed from?
- *@Bluesphere: Hi there - I've think I've carried out all the changes you requested. I've added all the names to references that I could see were credited. (Some didn't mention a name) ISD (talk) 10:46, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
