I'll review this one. I'll look more in depth tomorrow, but there's two major facets that need addressing. Rusted AutoParts 03:25, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Lead/infobox[edit]
- The lead should see a bit of thr Production section included. Lead sections should encapsulate the article as a whole.
- @Rusted AutoParts: Added a sentence of when and where the film was filmed without spoiling minor details found in the production section. Is that enough? Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 13:59, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
Plot[edit]
- Plot is over the 700 word maximum per WP:FILMPLOT. Needs trimmking by at least ten words.
- @Rusted AutoParts: Got it done to 693 words. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 12:26, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Cast[edit]
Looks good to me. 
My (minor) gripe with this is where it says "McDormand was excited to work with the Coens". Frances McDormand is a Coen by marriage, are we to believe that she didn't know what her husband had in mind for her with regard to this film?
Production[edit]
- Soundtrack should be renamed Music and moved to the Production section, under Filming.
- I think the last thing I'll note is that the Production section could be restructured. Casting and Filming should be the first subsections. I'd move Claims of factual basis and Accent be moved under Music.
Reception[edit]
- Reception I feel needs more critic reviews. Alot of the content skews towards a universal acclaim when, factoring in the 94% RT and 85/100 MC there could be some mixed or negative reviews to give a fair balance.
- @Rusted AutoParts: Reception has been expanded and improved. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 19:18, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- Accolades needs to be tablelized. Doesn't look visually appealing as is. A table like this for example.
- A table has been made. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 14:56, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- THe picture in Film festivals is too big, leaving a big gap between the end of the subsection and the beginning of Accolades.
- On this point as well, a Release section needs to be established, and Film festivals as a separate section doesn't seem prudent so merge the info there into a Release subsection.
- I added a release section, which now contains two sub-sections. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 13:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- On this point as well, a Release section needs to be established, and Film festivals as a separate section doesn't seem prudent so merge the info there into a Release subsection.
- I'd take out the Film festivals header, I know it's predominantly discussing it's festival appearances but I just don't see it's need. Rusted AutoParts 18:02, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- Saturn Awards need a source.
- @Rusted AutoParts: Added a source.
Soundtrack[edit]
Home video releases[edit]
- I'd remove the pipe of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to clarify what the abbreviation stands for.
- Citation required for "Shout! Factory released a 20th anniversary collector's Steelbook edition on Blu-ray, limited to 10,000 copies".
- Added a reference. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 13:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
Television series[edit]
Looks succinct.
References[edit]
- Archive all sources that can be archived.
