Here’s how reviewing works on this site. Our contributors watch movies (lots of them!), and then offer very subjective, very personal opinions on them. The objective here (pun intended) is to give you a perspective on the movie or show, and justify it. An informed opinion, if you please. You may wonder then: why should you be reading these reviews, or value these opinions over others? To borrow a thought from famous film critic Barry Norman, CBE (1933-2017), the biggest reason you should consider reading them is that these contributors probably have seen many more movies than the average movie-watcher over a long period of time and draw from a larger pool of movies they have watched, to form opinions. Does that make sense? Read on! If you would like to contribute, get in touch with us on one of our social media pages.
