Not clear this meets WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. The one reference used doesn't actually have content on the film (perhaps link rot?) The foreign language wikis only have film databases as sources which are largely unreliable as most of them are like IMDb in that anyone with an account can edit them. Regardless, database entries aren't considered WP:SIGCOV per WP:NFSOURCES.4meter4 (talk) 17:48, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep, obviously notable, easily meets WP:NFILM and WP:GNG. Cavarrone 21:52, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Meet notability guidelines by having significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, such as music reviews, interviews, or industry recognition. --LusikSnusik (talk) 12:40, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per WP:HEY as the article has been significantly improved since nomination including a reception section referenced to multiple reliable sources reviews of the film. Passes WP:NFILM in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:09, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
