Comment: Heatrave, I think we should wait a little more for things like critics or/and watchers to actually do reviews on this film. Still fails WP:NFILM for now. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:47, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Doesn't appear to meet WP:NFILM based on references provided (mostly routine coverage). Reviews by reliable sources would be helpful. C F A 💬 02:35, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
