Looks like
critic / critique
a person who reviews; a detailed analysis and assessment
⚠️ The trap
'La critica' in Italian refers collectively to critics ('la critica ha apprezzato il film' = critics liked the film) or to a single review. It is also the act of criticising. Learners confuse it with 'critico' (the person).
To say "a person who reviews; a detailed analysis and assessment" in Italian:
critica (correct for criticism/review)
"critica" in English means:
criticism; a review (of a book, film, etc.)
Example
"La critica al film è stata molto positiva."
"The review of the film was very positive."
