Miss Li: Hello, everyone! I hope you’ll enjoy our Film Festival and see lots of interesting films. And don’t forget that you’ll have to review a film at the end of the Film Festival. Now, I’d like to tell you how to write a film review.
The first thing a film review needs to include is some basic information about the film. Obviously, you should give the name of the film. It’s also important to provide the director’s name and the name of the main actors.
Second, you should give some information about the film’s setting and storyline. You’re supposed to say clearly when and where the film is set and what happens in the film. But you should never say what happens at the end!
Next, you should write about your opinion of the film. Be sure to take a clear-cut stand and not to make readers guess what you think. Also, don’t just give your opinion without supporting it with examples. You could include details about the acting, characters, music or special effects. Remember to use lots of interesting adjectives in this part.
Finally, it’s a good idea to say whether you would recommend this film or not, and to describe the type of person that you think might enjoy it.
All right, let’s look at an example of a film review.
