There needs to be a statement that not only is this a radical feminist film but also excludes men altogether because all the male characters are either rapists or enablers of rapists, men can't be raped and all abusers are male.--[[Special:Contributions/2001:8003:953B:3200:C062:7A1F:9F4F:F911|2001:8003:953B:3200:C062:7A1F:9F4F:F911]] ([[User talk:2001:8003:953B:3200:C062:7A1F:9F4F:F911|talk]]) 06:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC) |

Separatist Feminism
There needs to be a statement that not only is this a radical feminist film but also excludes men altogether because all the male characters are either rapists or enablers of rapists, men can't be raped and all abusers are male.--2001:8003:953B:3200:C062:7A1F:9F4F:F911 (talk) 06:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Two rapes? Confusing syntax
The sentence "Years earlier, her classmate, Al Monroe, raped her best friend and another classmate, Nina Fisher, leading to Nina's implied suicide" indicates Al raped two women on the same occasion. If it was only one, i.e. if the best friend and Nina are the same woman, then it should read "Years earlier, her classmate, Al Monroe, raped her best friend, another classmate, Nina Fisher, leading to Nina's implied suicide". 2.31.162.34 (talk) 13:44, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
Why does Cassie hold Madison responsible for Nina’s rape/death?
The article says Cassie holds Madison responsible, and that’s why she starts her revenge plan with her. But it doesn’t explain, why does she think Madison is responsible? Was Madison a witness? IllQuill (talk) 21:03, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- @IllQuill: NPR stated: "After Madison refuses to atone for dismissing Nina's accusations all those years before" in this article WhisperToMe (talk) 04:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
Variety comments slated
This seems worthy of mention: [1]. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Is it really a "black comedy"? The protagonist gets murdered during the course of the film. Hard to see any humour in it, "black" or otherwise. 2.31.162.34 (talk) 13:46, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
Character development information
@Draco9904: In response to the deletion of the material with the rationale that it's "not necessary" I restored it and started this discussion. Why would this not be necessary?
- There are lengthy articles on fictional characters like Walt Kowalski and Light Yagami where their motivations and characterizations are explored by reliable sources and by the creators. Ryan's reveal and creation in fact is a key element of this film. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:50, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- It's not absolutely necessary but critical character analysis can add to the page and probably does in this case. Critical Response always belongs in the appropriately named section though. Character info can be in the cast section but it should be from the writer, director, actor, or preexisting material. Critic's opinions on the characters aren't confirmed by those who actually created the character and may be different. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 16:26, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Best Original Screenplay
The article says this film was nominated for Best Original Screenplay in the BAFTA Awards 2021. It could now point out that it won this category. Rollo August (talk) 18:52, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
Not a comedy, black or otherwise
The subject of this film is deadly serious and, having seen it in the last 24 hrs, it was intensely shocking to read the first line of the description. This film is a suspense thriller. Summerdoor (talk) 14:29, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
- It's been called a "black comedy" or "dark comedy" by a few sources. NPR here calls it a "dark comedy". A film can be classified in different genres to different degrees. This from The Washington Post talks about the role of comedy. Whether or not this label belongs in the opening sentence depends on WP:FILMLEAD, but I do not see a reason to remove such mention from the article body entirely.

British production
Pinging TropicAces, who has reverted several edits on the film being an English co-production, multiple sources have shown up listing the UK as a country of production. Specifically, Screen Daily and LUMIERE have the UK listed. Wonder if these are enough/reliable to include in the main page to source this.[1][2] As for the BBFC source, Baby Driver was also listed as a US film by them and that was also a UK-US co-production. Thoughts? Daerl (talk) 05:44, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- well not a single one of those was ever cited, it continuously was an article about the film’s BAFTA win, which itself doesn’t make it a British film. If there are actual sources then great. TropicAces (talk) 14:43, 8 May 2021 (UTC)tropicAces
