Critics' assignments are tasks given to critics, usually by a publication or media outlet, to review a certain piece of work. These assignments can range from reviewing movies, books, music, and other forms of art. Critics are expected to provide an unbiased opinion on the work they are assigned to review, and their reviews are then published for the public to read. The term 'STARS' is often used to refer to the ratings given to the work by the critic, which can range from one to five STARS.
