A critique, or review, is an evaluation of a work, such as a book, film, or artwork. It involves analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the piece, providing insights into its themes, style, and overall impact. Critics aim to help audiences understand the work better and may offer recommendations based on their assessment. Critiques can be found in various formats, including written articles, video reviews, or podcasts. They often include personal opinions but should be grounded in objective analysis. Notable critics, like Roger Ebert for films or The New York Times for literature, have shaped public perception through their reviews.
