Talk:Donkey Punch/Archive 1

Synopsis

I've removed the sypnosis section because it only documented a small portion of the film, and was therefore fairly useless. If someone is prepared to improve it, then please add it back. Oli Filth^{(talk|contribs)} 00:49, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Quality improvement project

I'm going to embark on a quality improvement project for this article. Current stage = ongoing research. Next stage = improvement of referencing and cited sources. Suggestions for secondary sources through posts here to the talk page would be most appreciated. :) Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 18:42, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Removed "user approval rating"

I've removed the "user approval rating" addition to the Rotten Tomatoes info. That is unencyclopedic. Please don't add it back. Thanks, — Cirt (talk) 23:48, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Update on quality improvement project

Update on quality improvement project:

Still in research and adding of references stages, there's ample secondary source material to expand the Reception section, but trying to still find some more info for Production section. — Cirt (talk) 04:28, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Elsewhere in the British press The Times wrote "Donkey's punch is a notable achievement in all departments, handled superbly by its first-time director and largely unknown cast, with a tight, frighteningly plausible script… Donkey Punch has a respect for formula but, more importantly, a commitment to doing things differently, and properly.A scary, truly edgy film. ****", writing in the Daily Mail Baz Bamigboye said "It's a violent, cracking shocker. In fact, I was so stunned by several scenes that I sat frozen in my seat… " while Jason Solomons wrote in the Mail on Sunday “A stylish mix of Ibiza Uncovered, Lord of the Flies and Dead Calm… I liked Blackburn’s energy and tension and was taken by the ensemble performances – the film has an eye on cult audiences and late night thrills, all of which it delivers with unsavory relish.”

Stephen Holden's review in the New York Times said “There is no transcendent agent of evil; the enemy is within… the movie remains above the typical splatter ’n’ scream fest. These careless hedonists are convincing, and the ensemble acting feels believable.”

Writing in the NY Press, Eric Kohn said "SUCH A UNIQUE THRILL. Director Blackburn develops the scenario with remarkably shrewd finesse and builds to a satisfying spectacle." , The Village Voice called it “A Knife in the Water for the era of Ugly Briton, package tour imperialism.” and Aintitcool's Harry Knowles said “Damn I fucking loved it…”

Still in process of additional research for Production section material.

Total Film

PaintedCarpet correctly tagged [1] dead link for Total Film at http://www.totalfilm.com/trailers/donkey-punch-exclusive-interview-with-oliver-blackburn.

I'd very much like ideally to continue to use the source, if at all possible, if we could find an archived version of it.

— Cirt (talk) 02:22, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

I tried to fix the link this morning, but the archive page I found is apparently not from an approved archive URL. Hopefully someone else will have better luck. PaintedCarpet (talk) 15:15, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thank you, let me know if you have any other ideas. — Cirt (talk) 18:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
