I was never super critical of the queer representation in the movie because it is probably my favorite movie, but the article raised good points and I agree that the treatment of Roxie left a lot to be desired. Pleasantly surprised that the new anime was as good as it was! I still think I love the film more because of the crisp dialogue and visual comedy
