Hmmm.  I thought 'critique' was just a pretentious way of saying
'criticize', normally used by poseurs and academics.

Some dictionaries seem to think that way also. But I agree that the
verb criticize, once neutral between praise and censure, is now mainly
used in a negative sense. So maybe using critique is intended to be
not quite so negative.  Or maybe it is just pretentious.  ;)
