Abstract
Researches on language and gender always have the potential to trigger a debate. As a qualitative research implementing a descriptive comparative method with systemic functional discourse analysis and combining Miles & Huberman's [1] interactive model with Spradley’s [2] ethnographic steps, this study explores how male and female film critics review Atomic Blonde movie. Instead of suggesting any universal mapping on how men and women evaluate, this research gives shreds of evidence that power relation and ideological identity have to do with how and why one’s language exploitation in evaluating things is different than the others’, making this study as a further demonstration of the recent trend in language and gender research: to focus on the context surrounding the text, not on the gender of the text producer.
