criticism / review
'die Kritik' and 'der Kritikpunkt' both belong to talking about mistakes, weaknesses, or problems. 'Kritik' is the general expression for a negative or evaluative judgment. It can consist of one sentence, many arguments, or a whole review or discussion. 'Kritikpunkt' is one specific point within this criticism. The words can be confused because a 'Kritikpunkt' is part of 'Kritik'. If you are saying generally that someone criticizes or objects to something, 'Kritik' fits. If you are naming exactly one specific aspect, 'Kritikpunkt' fits.
