Ancillary Task Film Magazine Review Research

So after doing my research I looked into Magazine Film review pages: these were the top searches on google images, for generic film reviews: However looking into social realisms:  This was - I, Daniel Blake in the 'EVENING STANDARD' Very bold colours, but black and while symbolizing how life is simply black and white. However no pictures? Also with film ratings of 3 stars. This is I, Daniel Blake in 'PASTE': Opposite colour scheme, still black and white. However with a covering photo displaying the main characters. Also the social media tabs and ratings of 8.0.  This is Fish Tank in 'SLANT' Magazine: Simplistic fonts and colouring with a deep emotional photograph. Also a ratings chart and social media tabs.
