Who writes reviews?
There are many different reviewers, for example Mark Kermode. Kermode does reviews on BBC Radio 5 Live, often with Simon Mayo. I found footage of him reviewing The Angel's Share by Ken Loach. I chose a review of this film because it is of a similar genre to mine (Independent Comedy.) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00td0nn. Also, because I have decided to use silent film as my main style, I found his review for The Artist, in the style of a silent film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP2kdKjGVSk.
Who reads reviews?
Many people believe that just the film "Buffs" read reviews. A buff is "One who is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a subject." In this case, film buffs are extremely enthusiastic about films and will generally be drawn to more independent, art house films.
However, as they are now on the radio and in magazines and newspapers, such as The Guardian, reading reviews is far more common. People read reviews in order to understand the quality of the film or whether they feel they would enjoy it.
Film reviews even stretch to magazines such as ZOO, Heat and Nuts. This shows that there is a wide range of different people who read reviews.
