I. Introduction:
A. Introduce your review appropriately. Identify the director, the title, the main topic or issue presented in the film, and the director's purpose in writing the book.
B. Explain Relationships. Establish your position as the reviewer (your thesis about the film's argument). As you write, consider the following questions:
C. Provide an Overview. What are the film’s basic premises? What issues are raised, or what themes emerge? What situation(s) provide a basis for the director's assertions? List any background information that is relevant to the film and should be placed here rather than in a body paragraph.
II. Evaluate the film. This is the heart of your film review. You should discuss a variety of issues here:
Make sure that you distinguish your personal views from that of the director.
III. Conclusion. Tie together any issues raised in the review and provide a concise comment on the film and how it relates to our class and whether or not you would recommend this film to someone else.
There is, of course, no set formula, but a general rule of thumb is that the first one-half to two-thirds of the review should summarize the film's main ideas while the remainder of the report should evaluate the movie.
