UPHUMSScreen is a student driven film review platform created by the HUMSS class as a space for thoughtful, critical, and engaging discussions about cinema. Inspired by review sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, this website serves as our digital publication hub where films are not only rated, but carefully analyzed through different critical perspectives.

Here, movies are more than entertainment. Each review goes beyond plot summaries and personal opinions. Our writers examine themes, cinematic techniques, symbolism, irony, temporal distortion, technoculture, and other narrative elements that shape the meaning of a film. We aim to explore how storytelling, visuals, sound, and performance work together to create impact.

What makes UPHUMSScreen unique is our use of literary lenses. Every review applies at least two critical approaches such as Marxist, Feminist, Psychoanalytic, Historical Biographical, Reader Response, Structuralist, or other theories. Through these perspectives, we analyze how films reflect power structures, gender roles, psychological motivations, historical contexts, social realities, and audience interpretation. This allows us to see cinema not just as art, but as a mirror of society and human experience.

Each student contributes an individual review, ensuring a diverse selection of films and viewpoints. No two movies are repeated, giving readers a wide range of genres, cultures, and storytelling styles to explore. The result is a collection of critical essays that reflect both academic insight and personal reflection.

UPHUMSScreen is more than a class requirement. It is a collaborative academic project that highlights analytical thinking, creativity, and the power of critical interpretation. We invite you to browse, reflect, and experience films through deeper and more meaningful lenses.
