Lack of coverage that would warrant meeting WP:GNG. IMDb has only two reviews, by the same author, on what appear to be non-RS websites Sven Manguard Wha? 02:54, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Seriously? The first page of my Google search on the title + director gives reviews from The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and Village Voice. --Michig (talk) 06:14, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

STRONG KEEP per WP:NRVE. Looking beyond the unreliable IMDB, it was easy to discover that numerous independent sources have offered commentary and analysis of the film. WP:GNG and WP:NF are soundly met. That the article has not been unimproved is a reason to do it, but not a valid reason to delete a notable topic. And by the by... it was not the least bit difficult to add citations. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 01:13, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: this improvable little stub is 445 characters (73 words) "readable prose size"... there is sweet DYK waiting here for whomever wishes to expand this. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 01:15, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well... being first with the time and inclination, I suppose that "whomever" would be me.

Even though AFD is not meant to force improvements, The article has now been expanded and sourced to serve our readers. Research and improvement were not at all difficult. Now at 4703 characters (764 words) we have a 10x expansion. I have prepped my DYK and have asked the nominator to consider a withdrawal. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 04:15, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, good amount of secondary source coverage, — Cirt (talk) 06:00, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
