How it's used
Refers specifically to written or spoken critiques of movies, often found in newspapers or online platforms. While it sounds professional, it is frequently used in casual conversation when discussing whether a movie is worth watching. It carries a slightly more analytical weight than just saying someone likes or dislikes a film.

Common mistake
Avoid using it as a verb. It is strictly a noun, so you cannot say someone is影評ing a movie; instead, use the verb phrase寫影評.
