Reviews - NERVE

It’s no coincidence that Nerve, the most successful attempt at melding the virtual world and the real one so far, was directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the film-makers behind Catfish, itself a mind-melting “documentary” that unpicked the myth of online identities. 
-The Guardian 

“Nerve” succeeds mainly in showing us how exhilarating it can be to embrace them.
-New York Times 

Like one of its daredevils hanging one-handed from skyscraper scaffolding, Nerve mostly manages to maintain its precarious balance of pulpy suspense and social commentary.
-Rotten Tomatoes 

Reviews provide an insight from experts who understand how to analyse a film. It gives the audiences and idea of their own future opinions of the movie after they have watched it. In many ways, it tells the audience whether or not the film is worthy of spending money and time to watch. 

The reviews can also help bring up conversations between people in the hopes of making the film a common topic whilst it is in the cinemas. The review may include unbelievable snippets of a film without giving away too much that may cause controversy making the audience want to go the cinema to see it for themselves. For instance, one review mentioned one of the characters hanging off a crane; people who hear this might know of the actor and they might have only heard that they are in the film because of the review.

As the film becomes popular with the public it is possible critics can also praise the movie. The audience's response also affect later reviews as much as the reviews affect the public response.
