Non notable film with nothing to support it found in a WP:BEFORE search. Tagged for notability for 4 years. DEPRODed in July due to "notable director and lots of press coverage." Director may be notable, but film isn't inherently notable WP:NOTINHERITED. And as for "lots of press coverage", I found nothing but videos, blogs, and film directory entries.

Comment: It looks like there was a special screening held at the MoMA in 2018, so it may pass NFILM under criteria 2. I'll do more digging. At the very least the MoMA source mentioned a review from back in the day, which I've added to the article. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:17, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think I spent the last 2-4 hours scouring databases and whatnot, but I found enough to establish notability. It looks like there's more coverage, but a lot of it is squirreled away in places that the Internet can't really reach at this point in time (ie, the outlets haven't put it online). I found mentions of Variety and East Village Eye reviews, plus it was covered in a Kim Newman critique. I found some reviews via a college database so it'd pass under that criteria, plus it looks to have been screened as part of a MoMA film series years after its initial release, which would qualify it under criteria 2 since they fairly selective. I'm honestly a little surprised that I found as much as I did. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:27, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per reviews and other content added. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:03, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEY, thanks to ReaderofthePack's excellent additions. — Toughpigs (talk) 17:45, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the article has been substantially improved with the addition of sources such as MOMA, Variety, Toronto Star and others so that it now passes WP:GNG and deletion is no longer necessary imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:47, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
