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.

A truly wondrous ebook

Reading Peterloo in Process: A Mike Leigh Collaboration caused me to revisit the film, and actually change my opinion — and how rare is that? The writing is top-notch
Christopher Schobert
Film Critic, The Film Stage

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.
