The word ‘critic’ refers to a person who evaluates and judges the quality of something, such as art, literature, music, or other forms of creative expression. Critics often provide commentary or analysis, expressing their opinions and assessments publicly, typically in written or spoken form. Additionally, the term can refer more broadly to someone who tends to find fault or express disapproval about various subjects. In a more formal context, critics may work for publications, media outlets, or cultural institutions and may influence public perception of the works they review.
