Why this record matters
The phrase “2014 Costa Rican film directed by Miguel Alejandro Gómez” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18711335. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
