  • Comment: Still not quite right, but closer - Your citations should all be accompanying a claim that they support. So you have a "reception" section with no content but the citations, which doesn't actually tell the reader anything about the movie's reception. You should write a short summary of the movie's reception, supported by the reviews, and incorporate the citations there. Once that's done, I believe that this article can be approved.
