Junior Film Critic

The Junior Film Critic Competition gives young children a chance to get into the movies by writing a review of one of their favourite films of the past year.

All budding junior film critics must be between the ages of 7 and 11. Children need to choose any film seen at the cinema within the last year they have strong feelings about - good or bad - and write a 250-word review of it in their own words.
