Film criticism

Film critics should be distinguished from film reviewers. Most people who
call themselves film critics and publish commentary on films in periodicals
are actually film reviewers. A film criticism is actually more closely
aligned with philosophy than it is commentary. The film critic tries to come
to understand why film works, how it works, and what effects it has on
people.
