Film Review
Movie: Sisters in Law (2005)
The review should have an appropriate title. It should contain at least two sections. The first section should reflect what Moscowitz calls ‘the boilerplate’ treatment and basic information. That section should tell the reader about your short essay and what they might need to know about the film and its producer, director, the setting, lead characters, production funders and collaborators, etc. This section should be guided by Moscowitz. Beyond that first section should be the “beyond the boiler- plate” section. Here is where you want to provide the substance of your review and reactions. The issues that grab your attention are the issues to focus on in this section. Relationships between characters, aspects of African culture, portrayals of Africa/Africans (women especially), and other issues of interest to you should be the focus.
The review essay should be typed, at least three pages but no more than five pages long, and double-spaced. In terms of word count, the essay should be at least 600 words long. It should be done in MS WORD or its equivalent.
