This research aims at analysing the use of adjectives in film reviews. Drawing on the principles of hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistics, we argue that grammar should be studied together with texts. We also argue that adjectives have an important role to play in the expression of interpersonal meanings, particularly in the expression of evaluation, given the context of situation of the film reviews. Taking as a point of departure a critical review of the concept of adjectives in traditional grammars, we review their treatment in semantic-discursive approaches, and adopt Moura Neves´s classification of adjectives into types (2011). This enabled us to identify correlations between adjective types and distinct rhetorical movements in film reviews. We have also dealt with the role of adjectives in the construction of positioning in text. Our corpus is made of film reviews published in two different media - major newspapers and specialized electronic magazines. Thus, besides a study of adjectives in use, our research can also be seen as reference material for the study of film reviews, drawing on the notions of context of situation (field, tenor and mode), and of Generic Structure Potential (Hasan, 1989)
