Directory of Reviews Resources

Home > Arts > Movies > Reviews

A review is a critical examination of a film, with remarks. Reviews can focus on a variety of angles. Reviews are different from theoretical criticisms, because reviews are the result of the critic's subjective opinion rather than objective evaluation. This category is for sites dedicated to reviewing modern feature films, including Hollywood blockbusters and independent features.

For objective evaluations of films based on their merits in modern film theory, see Movie Theory and Criticism.
