movie review

Cinema criticism piece

A movie review is a written or spoken assessment of a film, typically evaluating its story, performances, direction, and technical elements.

Reviews range from professional criticism in publications to casual opinions posted online: I always check movie reviews before deciding what to watch.

The term also describes the act of writing such assessments.
