Info about film editor put in reviews (7)

I believe the answer is:

credits

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'info about film' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'editor put in reviews' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'put in' indicates putting letters inside.
'reviews' becomes 'crits' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ed' put within 'crits' is 'CREDITS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for credits that I've seen before include "Attributes or renders due acknowledgment" , "Entries on the payments received side of accounts" , "Directs (anag) - list of a film's contributors" , "moneys paid in" , "balance sheet entries" .)
