My research is focused on analysis of amateur film reviews on movies “Gagarin : first in space ” (2013) and“ Spacewalk ”(“ Salut-7 ”) (2017), which were published on specialized movie forums on the Internet. The main idea of the analysis is to identify keywords and ideas that often appear in the amateur movie reviews. The aim of the work is an attempt to analyze around which the discourse of amateur criticism on Russian-language platforms is formed. I try to specify the similarities and differences of reviews published in major media and reviews from forums and social networks.
