critical commentary
Scholarly interpretive writing
Critical commentary is analysis that evaluates or interprets a work, event, or idea—examining its meaning, quality, or significance rather than simply describing it.
The term appears in academic and journalistic contexts: The edition includes the original text with critical commentary.
A critic's review of a film or book is critical commentary, as is a scholar's annotations on a historical document.
