Check the deadline too, especially if the review is for something timely, like a movie, album or book. Your review should coincide with the release of these types of items.

This works especially well for a book or movie review, where you might pick out a particular theme and write your review around that theme.

If you are writing for a more general audience, assume that some readers will need more explanation about certain references or terms you use. [1] X Research source

If it’s a movie or book, don’t spend your entire review summarizing the plot. There’s no need to give the entire story. Just a brief overview in 1-2 sentences will suffice.

Some reviews are written in different formats, even as poems or haiku. Other reviews are tongue-in-cheek, conveying the facts in a humorous way.
