Film review or film analysis?


This might help you:

Review
Analysis
Subjective evaluation

Aid to understanding
Introduce and identify
     Title, director, genre, producer, studio, (country), year, running time, actors/cast, rating.

The reviewer often situates the film with reference to other work by the same director / main actors, and other films in the same genre.

Simple identification is enough (Title, year, director). Other elements mentioned as necessary
Analyse/sum up the plot
Assume that the reader has a working knowledge of the plot – no summary is necessary unless the plot is your focus.

Discuss the genre
Evaluate the acting
Broader context
Chooses one or several elements and analyses how they work and contribute to the film (setting, narrative, theme, characterization etc.).


This document shows an introductory paragraphs for a film review and a film analysis for 3 different films. 
Read it and try to write your own introductory paragraph for a review and an analysis of a movie you have seen.
