Student Film Reviews
Here at UK Film Review, we like to do two things - promote the movies of filmmakers, and promote the film reviews of the people who love watching movies. This includes filmmakers from across the globe, and writers from across the UK.
A hobby for some, a passion for others, film reviews can do more than just tell you whether a movie is worth seeing at the cinema. Film reviews are all about exploring the tireless efforts of a filmmaking team, who have worked, collaboratively, for months or years on a project in order to present it to an audience. Such efforts deserve us really delving into them, discussing the elements which worked for us, and those which didn't.
Film reviews are also not about ignoring all other opinions. In fact, a room of 20 people all watching the same movie will more than likely have 20 different opinions about that film. Which is not to say any of them are right or wrong...after all, film reviews are just opinions!
Below you will find one of our favourite Student Film Reviews which was submitted to UK Film Review for analysis.
