Film Review: Skyfall

In her review of Skyfall, Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday succeeds in writing a review that is both captivating and full of detail. After beginning with a view into the mind of director Sam Mendes, Hornaday breaks down the elements that are necessary for a successful James Bond movie.

The review succeeds in giving readers information about the film's plot and visual language. The writing, such as the excerpt below, is carefully crafted and full of strong descriptive words.

"To succeed, of course, a James Bond movie must traffic in equal parts sophistication and pure preposterousness, a winking willingness not to take itself so very seriously, but with writing, acting and production values of the highest order."

The full review can be found here.
