A film review can be as general as summarizing the plot of a film while naming actors and directors, or can be as critical and analytical as to praise or condemn an aspect or error of the film.
Generally, they start off with a brief history/summary of the film. Historical information can be found on-line, as can information about the director, writer, and style of film or its tradition. This usually leads into the body of the review which includes a few paragraphs on any of the following aspects of film, grouped together in similar packages when there's not a lot to write about: actors, film crew, cinematography or direction of photography, direction, quality of writing, special effects, editing (pacing), sound, color (when appropriate), treatment of subject matter (theme and message), etc. The review summarizes the experience of the film by quipping whether or not the film was worth the admission price or worth the time for a viewer. A societal connection about the relevance of the film can be helpful.
Take a look at the sample reviews for the movie The Croods.
After watching The Maltese Falcon, please return to the lab and begin a review of the film. Start out by researching and gathering the important information you will need, before jumping into the writing. Gather ye ducks in a row, before planning to cook them....
