Have look at any callsheet around the world. There are 3 different departments. Camera, Grip and Electrical. I am a Grip. I am not camera or electrical. Only takes a handful of letters to add "and grip" to our department.

To accidentally close the website while writing a review should save a draft
While writing a review, if you were to leave the site, or close the web browser by accident, you will not get a confirmation request. (Which is very common practice for web pages tagged as forms). Furthermore, the fact that movie reviews takes long to write makes it vital to have some sort of fail-
