Title Page
- (Research title)
- Give your critique a catchy or interesting name

Introduction
- (title of the book/ article, writer’s name and thesis statement.)

• Typically, the introduction is short, and you should:


✓ Name the film being reviewed as well as the date it was created and the
name of the author/creator.
✓ Describe the main argument or purpose of film.
✓ Explain the context in which the film was created. This could include the
social or political context, the place of the work in a creative or academic
tradition, or the relationship between the work and the creator's life experience.
✓ Have a concluding sentence that signposts what your evaluation of the
work will be. For instance, it may indicate whether it is a positive, negative, or
mixed evaluation.

Summary
- (Objective or purpose of the paper, methods used (if applicable), major
findings in the paper)

 Briefly summarize the main points and objectively describe how the film
portrays these by using techniques, styles, media, characters, or symbols.
This summary should not be the focus of the critique and is usually shorter
than the critical evaluation.

Critical Evaluation
- (Appropriateness of the methodology to support arguments, coherence of
ideas, sufficiency, or soundness of the explanations)

 This section should give a systematic and detailed assessment of the


different elements of the work, evaluating how well the film was able to
achieve the purpose through these. For example, you would assess the plot
structure, characterization, and setting of a novel, an assessment of a
painting would look at composition, brush strokes, color, and light, and a
critique of a research project would look at the subject selection, the design of
the experiment, analysis of data, and conclusions.

Examples of key critical questions that could help your assessment include:
✓ Who is the creator? Is the work presented objectively or subjectively?
✓ What are the aims of the work? Were the aims achieved?
✓ What techniques, styles, media were used in the work? Are they effective in
portraying the purpose?
✓ What assumptions underlie the work? Do they affect its validity?
✓ What type of evidence or persuasion are used? Has evidence been
interpreted fairly?
✓ How is the work structured? Does it favor a particular interpretation or point
of view? Is it effective?
✓ Does the work enhance understanding of key ideas or theories? Does the
work engage (or fail to engage) with key concepts or other works in its
discipline?

This evaluation is written in a formal academic style and logically presented.


Group and order your ideas into paragraphs. Start with the broad impressions
first and then move into the details of the technical elements. For shorter
critiques, you may discuss the strengths of the works then the weaknesses. In
longer critiques, you may wish to discuss the positive and negative of each
key critical question in individual paragraphs. To support the evaluation,
provide evidence from the work itself, such as a quote or example, and you
should also cite evidence from related sources. Explain how this evidence
supports your evaluation of the work.

Conclusion
– (Overall impression of the work, scholarly value, benefits to the intended
audience, suggestion for future direction of research)

• This is usually a brief paragraph which includes:


✓ A statement indicating the overall evaluation of the work;
✓ A summary of the key reasons, identified during the critical evaluation, why
this evaluation was formed; and
✓ In some circumstances, recommendation for improvement on the work may
be appropriate.
