Comment: This has some serious issues going on with it. Firstly, the article is written more as a personal opinion/research paper than a Wikipedia article. Comments like "giving the film the feel of an old time Punch and Judy show" are pretty much just your personal opinion and should be avoided at all costs because it's how you personally feel the film feels like. The sources are also an issue, as one of the links goes to a non-notable blog entries (most blogs are not usable as sources unless they're by someone who is considered to be an absolute authority or very notable, which most aren't), an IMDb listing (IMDb can be used for trivial info stuff, but will never show notability and should be avoided as sources in general), a database entry (can't show notability), and a press release. The film does look like it should be notable, but this needs a pretty heavy re-write to fit notability and neutrality guidelines. You'd also have to find some other sources for the article, as none of the above really show notability. Even though the press release shows that it won an award, you have to show that the award is notable and that its showings at the film festivals were documented. I recommend getting someone from the film wikiproject to help out, with Schmidt being someone I'd particularly recommend. He's pretty much a genius at finding sources and creating articles about movies. If he can't do it, he'll find someone who can.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:45, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
