Angela's feedback:

"You've got a clear thesis statement, and your body paragraphs are structured so that they support it well. Moreover, you've included many examples from the movie that work well with your argument. However, be careful about consistently conveying the fact that you're talking about the 2004 film adaptation of the Broadway musical, not the musical itself or some other adaptation. Some of your statements referring to "the musical" can make it easy for the reader to think of the Broadway show instead. Your conclusion is a bit problematic because you say that the film presents a well-written story. Can this really be the case when you're arguing that the main characters are in an abusive relationship that shouldn't be admired and isn't enjoyable to watch? A thorough edit is recommended to fix your writing convention errors, and note that with an essay so short, there's no need to include headings."
