1) Introduction – In the opening of your review, provide some basic information about the
film. You may include film’s name, year, director, screenwriter, and major actors. – Your
introduction, which may be longer than one paragraph, should also begin to evaluate the
film, and it should allude to the central concept of the review. A film review does not
have to contain a thesis or main claim, but it should focus on a central analysis and
assessment.
2) Plot Summary – Give the reader a general sense of what the film is about. Keep this brief
and avoid specific details here.
3) Description – Include a more detailed description of your particular cinematic experience
watching the film. This may include your personal impression of what the film looks,
2
feels, and sounds like. In other words, what stands out in your mind when you think
about this particular film?
4) Analysis – It is expected that your analysis will center on the film’s presentation of urban
themes. Explain your impression of how well the film addresses the urban experience.
Additionally, consider how well the film utilizes formal techniques and thematic content.
How do the film’s formal techniques (such as cinematography, editing, lighting, sound,
or narrative) affect the way the film looks, feels, and sounds to you? How does the
thematic content (such as history, race, gender, sexuality, class, or the environment)
affect your experience and interpretation? Also, do the formal techniques work to
forward the thematic content?
5) Conclusion/Evaluation – The closing of your film review should remind the reader of
your general thoughts and impressions of the film. You may also implicitly or explicitly
state whether or not you recommend the film. Also, be sure to highlight the film’s sociocultural value.
