Hi, Michael.  I’ve found crits (even with friends!) to be most useful when a., 
folks are in a room (or Zoom) together and can really talk through their 
experience with you; b., you prepare a few questions in advance, which can be 
thematic or technical, about the topic or the formal issues or their 
entanglement; c., you can offer different cuts (of a few sequences, of 
approaches to sound design, of color correction) for comparison; d., there are 
snacks!  

It can be hard to explain the idea of a “rough cut” or “work in progress” or 
“temp music” or “temp titles” to people who aren’t makers and steeped in the 
lore, but you can frame things and focus everyone’s attention on the things 
that really matter to you.

Hope this helps!
