This film was tagged for notability by another editor. I removed the tag because it has 8 Critic Reviews at Rotten Tomatoes, including Variety and The Guardian.

The other editor said 8 reviews from RT is irrelevant and stated, "No, in fact - the consensus at MOS:FILM has been is that 8 reviews is NOT enough for films - remove aggregator again." This is NOT true, as

MOS:FILMCRITICS
(which is the policy for using RT as a source) does not list a minimum number of critic reviews at RT for inclusion in an article.

I feel this article should be KEPT and should have the notability tag removed, but when I remove it another editor adds it back. Lets decide once and for all, is this film notable enough to be kept and have the notability tag removed, or should it be deleted? Thank you. DonaldD23 talk to me 18:16, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    KEEP It's got critical reviews in the Guardian, Variety and the London Evening Standard. Although Rotten tomatoes only provides links to one of them: [1] (the London Evening Standard appears to be a re-direct now). It's not a very good movie apparently, but it's at GNG.

Keep It's many reviews as previous editors noted are significant, reliable, and independent, so the article meets
