I chose to analyze a
Hollywood Reporter review of “On the way to School”. After reading this review
I have found a few aspects of the review that generally are aspects of the
genre. To begin, a review should give an honest summary of the movie to include
either direct quote or paraphrases of certain scene. This helps to give the
reader a general idea of what the movie is about without completely ruining the
movie. Additionally, a review should give an over arching theme of the
production. In this review of “On the Way to School” the author states “We often forget how lucky we are to
go to school” this is an example of the main idea of this documentary film.
Furthermore, a film review should address the audience that the movie is geared
towards. For example in the “On the Way to School” documentary the author
states that the documentary can “be marketed to parents and students alike”.
This is good because it
lets the reader know if it is appropriate to watch if there are children.
Lastly, I feel a review should have a
little bit of the authors opinion. I’m not say to be noticeably biased but just
to hear the authors personal voice and giving his/hers opinion in the review.
