Movie Critiques Are Objective Glances at Artistic Works
Movie critiques defined
The first thing you need to know when you get a task of writing a movie critique is the difference between this type of academic writing and a movie review, the task that you probably have faced before in study. Thus, if in a movie review your point is to provide the summary and express your opinion on what the pros and cons of the movie are, writing a movie critique requires a more profound knowledge, better skills, and objectivity.
Movie critiques’ structure
A traditional structure of a movie critique includes:
- Introduction (here, you explain what film is the subject of your movie critique, introduce its title, director, main actors and characters);
- Plot (in this part, your movie critique presents a brief account on the plot of the movie under analysis);
- Setting (the part of your movie critique that describes the setting of the film you write about);
- Reality (here, your movie critique starts analyzing the film and relating its characters and events to the possible real people and events);
- Evaluation (finally, the most analytical part of your movie critique discusses the good and bad points about the film but not by simply stating what you liked and what you did not like; you provide a professional critique and support it with relevant ideas about actors’ work, plot development, director’s skills, etc.).
