What critics are saying

What we want more often from critical analysis but so rarely get

Seventh Row’s You Were Never Really Here: A Special Issue ebook allows for a deeper appreciation of a brilliant piece of art. It’s what we want more often from critical analysis — a conversation with the art and its creators — but so rarely get.

One of the finest film-related texts of 2019

One of the finest film-related texts of 2019 was the Seventh Row team’s analysis of Mike Leigh’s Peterloo, and this series of deep cinema exploration continues with Tour of Memories: The Creative Process Behind Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir and The 2019 Canadian Cinema Yearbook. Both eBooks are once again edited by two of the smartest, most readable writers on film art, Orla Smith and Alex Heeney…Together, these Seventh Row ebooks tackle films that deserve serious respect and analysis.

I have re-read Seventh Row’s ebooks more times than I care to admit.

Seventh Row’s Special Issues are of such a high standard that one would be excused to think they only belong in hardcover print. I have re-read them more times than I care to admit, and thanks to the ebooks, I do so on the bus to and from work, while I’m waiting for a movie to tart, or just on the bed at home.
