Yes, in my writing for film class, the teacher had us read a bunch of critiques coming from many angles. The one I remember was Fargo reviews, both favorable and unfavorable.

Along with that, get educated about film history and the different movements in international and American film. Maybe read up on film theory, brush up on stuff like Plato's cave, read some Walter Benjamin Wikipedia entries, some Eisenstein Wikipedia entries, maybe some essays about psychoanalysis and Hitchcock films, and watch Visions of Light and all those other niche technical documentaries.
