Film Review Guidelines
Historians of the modern era have an abundance of media for critically examining the
past, including feature films and documentaries. Here are a few things to keep in mind
when assessing such documents as primary sources:
Who directed the film?
When was it made?
How does the director use artistic devices and production techniques (e.g., lighting, stage
design, makeup, camera angles, choreography) to enhance entertainment value and/or
understanding?
Most importantly…
In what ways does the film reflect the social, political, and cultural environment of the
era in which it was made?
How does the film contribute to scholarly debates discussed in your readings and
lectures?
