Hugo- Critical Review


Write your detailed specific critical opinions of the film Hugo.  You will cite evidence from the film to support your opinions, but do not summarize the film.  This critical review will be written in paragraphs and be at least 200 words.

You are the one and only expert of your opinions.  Write about your specific opinions about the specific elements from Hugo that stood out to you.  You can write about specific characters, overall character development, dialogue, cinematography, story, plot, etc.

1)  Begin your critical review with a general synopsis of the story (summary- 2 sentences maximum) followed by your overall opinion of the film.  

2)  Go in to detail about the film elements that you write about.  Write about each element in its own paragraph. Include examples from the film to support your opinions. (3 paragraphs minimum) 

3)  Conclude your review with a final paragraph summarizing your opinion and giving a final recommendation (thumbs up, thumbs down, 3 out of 4 stars, C+, etc.).  You choose how you will grade the film.

This outline will give you a 5 paragraph critical review.  You can write more than 5 paragraphs if you so desire.
