Citing Film Reviews
The basic format for reviews published on a website or in an online magazine/newspaper is:
Lastname, Firstname. "Title of Review." Title of Publication, DD MMM. YYYY, link to review.
This example from the MLA Handbook demonstrates what a film review citation looks like in practice:
Jones, Oliver. “Minari Catches the Messy Truth about the American Dream.” Observer, 10 Dec. 2020, observer.com/2020/12/minari-review-steven-yeun-lee-isaac-chung/.
Film reviews published in scholarly journals can be cited just like regular peer-reviewed articles:
Lastname, Firstname. "Title of Review." Title of Journal, vol. 1, no. 1, YYYY, pp. 1-11. Name of Database, link to doi.
For example:
Langhamer, Claire. “Love and Courtship in Mid-Twentieth-Century England.” Historical Journal, vol. 50, no. 1, 2007, pp. 173-96. ProQuest, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0018246X06005966.
