Select a film or movie and respond to it in an engaged, honest, and genuine way over 3.5-4-page response (double-spaced).
A critique is not criticism in the strict sense; rather, it’s an engagement with and assessment of how the film works.
Your critique should be ananalysis—not a plot summary but rather a response to the film that puts different ideas and concepts into playand draws on coursecontent. A good critiquewill create a problem by asking simple questions and then proceed to answer them(e.g., How is film X relevant to a course in Canada on race, racism, and colonialism?
Which major social, political, cultural, and economic issues does film X foreground and considerregarding racism and/or settler colonialism? What is your connection to the key ideas and concerns of film X in your everyday life?.
The questions allow you to generate answers that amount to arguments, concerns, and interpretations, which provide the basis for your reflection. Ideally, you’re able to move beyond listing and outlining themes and ideas to reflecting on the implications of the themes or issues in relation racism, racialization, settler colonialism, decolonization, and social justice.
