Short paragraphs make it easy to follow the main points.
Mention plot, setting, film genre (type) early in review.
Strong adjectives give the review ‘punch’. Addressing the reader in second person, gives the review a more personal feel and helps the reader identify with the reviewer.
Comment about main actors, their roles and types of performances. Use strong adjectives for lively reading.
Add more features of the plot.
Mention the writer of the film by name, the script, style, filmcraft (imagery).
Mention the cinematographer by name, use adverbs to describe techniques used, method and tone, and how they further the plot. (Consider ‘Narrative Pattern’ film techniques studied in Lesson 4.)
Mention themes in the film. Don’t be afraid to reuse the title several times, to tie the review together.
