film reviews
Jay asked:


Hi,

I have to write a film review for my grade 10 English class. I need it to be no more than 400 words, yet I really do not have any idea what I am doing. Does anyone know of a website that will provide a template for a film review that I can follow to help me write the review.

Thank you all very much. Any replies and comments help and are greatly appreciated.

Have a good day.

Eva

Make sure you cover who was in it and directed it.

Cover what the story was about.

If there is something unique about it make sure to include that like a limited release or top grossing film or a box office bomb or something.

Offer your opinion of the movie and don’t be afraid to be colorful.

Also add depth to it by saying “award winning actor” if it is true and things of that nature.

And if you can, offer a comparison to other movies so without seeing it a reader can know what type of movie they are in for.
