You have touched on some of the important aspects of this film that make it so iconic, so good start!
I will give you a few pointers for your next review...
You don't really need the box office info at the end like that - you would be better including some of it (not all of it) within your text. So for example, you could say, 'The film was made with a budget of $670,000 and went on to gross...'etc
The quotes that you are asked to include, should come from recognised published sources such as film review sites, film critics, books on film theory etc. Avoid Wiki sites and other peoples blogs, as these are often unreliable :) The quotes should support your discussion, so they should be embedded within your text, and need to be referenced using the Harvard method, details of which can be found here - http://www.uca.ac.uk/library/academic-support/harvard-referencing/
You also need to create a bibliography and illustrations list, which lists the sources you have used in alphabetical order by author's surname (details in the referencing guide too)
Have a look here at some examples of previous reviews; they vary greatly in length and complexity, but are good example of how you want your review to look -
1. Include box office info within your writing. 2. Find 3 quotes to support your discussion; make sure they are referenced using Harvard. 3. Create a bibliography and illustrations list at the end.
Don't worry about editing this review, just take these pointers forward to the next one :)

So a quick round-up -
1. Include box office info within your writing.
2. Find 3 quotes to support your discussion; make sure they are referenced using Harvard.
3. Create a bibliography and illustrations list at the end.
