Pardon my ignorance of the mechanics of Wikipedia, but, and especially after looking at the talk page, this entire article reads like it was written by a single, obsessive fan. Normally, well-known actresses like Cate Blanchett have a convenient "Filmography" subheading.

I agree. While the article is reasonable, it is far too hagiographic. There is almost not a single sentence or statement of fact that doesn't have a promotional comment attached. Blanchett is indeed an accomplished actor with many awards, but not every sentence needs to mention how amazing she is. 92.111.0.82 (talk) 13:12, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
