Bewertung vs Kritik

criticism / review

'Kritik' and 'Bewertung' can both express a judgment about something. 'Bewertung' is more neutral and can be positive, negative, or mixed, for example a grade or stars online. 'Kritik' puts more emphasis on pointing out mistakes, weaknesses, or problematic points. Both words can occur with books, films, or pieces of work, but they have different focuses. They are easy to confuse because a 'Bewertung' can also contain 'Kritik'. When it is generally about a judgment, 'Bewertung' fits. When the negative aspects or a detailed discussion of weaknesses are especially meant, 'Kritik' fits better.
