You should probably mention the critic's name here, since that's whose work you are analyzing.
POV

Comment 3
You need to include a thesis that clearly sets up your overall argument about the quality of the reviewer's stylistic and rhetorical strategies. Keep in mind, this essay is not really about the film at all--the film is largely irrelevant. Instead, you are analyzing the writing skills of a film reviewer.
Comment 4
what does any of this paragraph have to do with the review?
