How do I make a film review sound less like a film analysis?
July 3rd, 2010
For my English coursework, I have to write a film review on any film of my choice.
I have written it, but it does not sound like a film review at all.
What are some characteristics that a film review has?

A film review can contain an analysis. I would say that most do. Try and give a brief plot outline without including spoilers. You can add your opinion in a review whereas an analysis would be void of opinion. So wherever you have made analytical points throw in your opinion as well. Also reviews tend to compare what they are reviewing to other subjects, usually what they are similar to. Movies reviews often refer to other movies to convey certain similarities. A good place to check for references to other movies is IMDB.com. Find your movie and read the user comments that discuss the movie. They almost always reference other movies as comparison as well as usually giving well founded opinions.
