QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is new enough, long enough and no copyvio. Both hooks are cited and imo interesting. Leaning towards ALT0 because it might be easier to understand. The synopsis is uncited which is allowed per MOS:FILM, so no issues there. Everything else seems well sourced except for a few minor problems that I'll list below.

@Jolielover: Under reception, it says "The film faced backlash for addressing Larries," can you clarify that this was backlash from fans?
In the line about Payne "claiming he "couldn't give a fuck" about Channel 4", per the source it seems like he was talking about the documentary not the channel. Once these are fixed I'll take another look. BuySomeApples (talk) 07:02, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

@BuySomeApples: Added clarity on who the backlash was from (it was from fans), and changed 'Channel 4' to 'the programme', I misinterpreted it and thought he said that about the channel. jolielover♥talk 08:31, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
