A film review is a critique published in a magazine, newspaper, or online at the time the film is released.
- Will often outline the plot and then evaluate the effectiveness. Is often short and not very in-depth
Articles analyzing films are written by scholars and are published in scholarly journals after the film comes out.
- Will often focus on a single element or a few related elements and go very in-depth on those elements.
