Mr. Rice's Secret[edit]

(

)

... that a reviewer from The New York Times called the film Mr. Rice's Secret "bland and ordinary", apart from a scene where children exhume their neighbour?

Reviewed: The Wheel of Liverpool
Comment: I understand that celebrity sells (as was probably the marketing scheme with this film), but I can't seem to think up a hook involving David Bowie that would be interesting and tasteful. To mention him in this hook would be upsetting due to his recent death and the idea of his resting place being desecrated, even if it is an old film. Any alternatives would be welcome

Article was new at time of nomination. It is long enough, written neutrally and has many inline citations. I cannot find any evidence of copyright violations and all direct quotes are clearly indicated. The hook is interesting and sourced in the article - I don't think you need to bring Bowie into it.. its interesting enough as it is! QPQ has been done. An interesting article and well written (I wouldn't take on the task of writing about a film as its very difficult) - good job The Almightey Drill! ツStacey (talk) 17:06, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
