Reviews typically should include:
- the name of what is being reviewed.
- clear identifying information (a film's director and lead actors, its genre etc.).
- a strong statement of the reviewer’s overall opinion.
- specific examples that support the reviewer’s opinion.
- a focus on material relevant to the particular subject of the review, such as quotations from a book; background material on an author, an actor, or a musician/musical group;
- clear organization through an introduction, body paragraph(s) (about three) and a conclusion.
- a particular tone (use of humour, sarcasm, authority, etc.) and a specific writer’s voice.
- use of a rating system.
