Bridget's feedback:

"You engage with the text (the film) in a thoughtful and clearly informed manner. In terms of the discussion and the critical apparatus, the reader feels that they are in good hands. Frequent diction issues, however, create substantial barriers to the reader's comprehension, forcing them to decipher and decode for meaning. Sometimes this is a punctuation issue, but as in the case of the "abandoned by her husband during the war years mother," though easily amended with a string of hyphens, better would be to revise. Focus on precision of word choice; it is possible to balance your lyrical style and clarity with some discipline."
