Film Review: Citizen Kane: Day 2

See previous post for details about what should be included in your film review of Citizen Kane. For attribution purposes, the article I gave you on Citizen Kane "Mr. Welles Comes to Town" was written by Andrew Rausch in his book Turning Points in Film History. Before you head into deep waters, take a look at this material online:

Film Critic Writing: Writing Film Reviews (advice)

You can find a lot of information about the film at these sites:
Here are some examples of film reviews to get the idea of the form & style:
  • Fences (Denzel Washington's 2017 film; review by Odie Henderson at Roger Ebert.com)
  • Assassin's Creed (Simon Abrams review at Roger Ebert.com)
  • Assassin's Creed (Peter Bradshaw's review at The Guardian)
Still having trouble? Check here and here too. Both links help break down the larger task of writing a review step by step.

Use your time in the lab to write your review. Your review should be between 500-1000 words in length. Use attribution where appropriate. 

HOMEWORK: None.
