Review Writing Guidelines

Your review can be as long or short as you want to write but think about what you would find useful and engaging in a review. Too short and it won’t give people the information they need but too long and they may never make it to the end!

Rule In:

• Focus on the film or programme you are reviewing. Comparisons to other films or programmes can be helpful but the main content should be about the title being considered.
• Explain why you feel the way you feel; readers want to understand why you liked or disliked something.

Rule Out:

• Swearing, obscenities or anything which may cause harm or upset to another person. It is okay to say you didn’t like something but please try to do so politely!
• Be aware of spoilers. People read reviews to help choose what to watch and they don’t want to know the full story before they watch something.
• Links to other web pages or promotional information is not permitted.

Approval:

• All reviews will be moderated and approved for publishing.
• Minor edits may be made to reviews without notice to ensure they meet the guidelines.
• Please ensure that your review is all your own work and not copied from elsewhere.
• Once a review is moderated, approved and published it becomes the property of The Flix Review.
