| 1 | A list of people who work as critics and/or {{review}} works of art and/or media. A good critic will provide an analysis on the strengths and weaknesses of a certain work and provide his own opinion based on that. The opinion in question can be very subjective and merely follow his or her own view of the world. Or it can be a more general approach where the reviewer may not personally be that engaged or interested in a work, but would still take the time to take a fair and serious look at it and may even recommend it to others. |
