Film Reviews can be found in newspaper, scholarly journals, popular magazines and industry or trade magazines. Narrow down your searches by using a Document Type filter when it's available to identify "Reviews" but be aware that you might have to weed through the book reviews as well (especially in the Arts Based and Interdisciplinary databases)
Below, connect to indexes and databases and search for film titles or directors (or use the link in the side menu to jump to the section you need)
Tip - use quotation marks to tell the database to only look for particular words in a particular order, but be careful of spelling.
e.g., "School Daze" AND "Spike Lee"
