Which are the main features to remember when writing a review ('recensione')? (IB Italian B Paper 2)

It's important, first and foremost, to understand that you will not only need to give your opinion about the show/film/book that you are asked to review, but also that you will need to go into a deeper level and analyse it.The text should be divided in three sections:-Introduction: I would divide this part in to further subgroups: -General Information: Here you should talk about the show/film/book from an informative perspective, giving information about the author/director (and actors, if any), the publication/mise-en-scene/shooting, and contextualise it to the period it was released, and/or written, in. -Analysis of the themes (and how they are explained to the public)-Interpreting:Here it's important to give a personal opinion and to critically analyse the overall theme and understand how it connects to other works from the same author/director-Evaluation:Here it's important to give a subjective evaluation about the overall show/film/book and the various elements that are part of it, both by talking about own taste and by bringing up objective arguments.
