Take back your movie-watching experience

Your movie-watching experience has been shaped by the mainstream canon in ways you might not even realize, whether through advertising, social media, or social interaction.

Seventh Row will help you look past the accepted canon and discover the films that are just as good (or better) but so often left out of the conversation.

If there’s one film you didn’t know about that you loved, you can bet there are TONS of your favourite films that you’ve never heard about. 

Watching movies can be a lonely experience with no one to talk to about that obscure film you loved, no one to introduce you to films you’ll love, and no one to point out an insight about a film that’ll just change your life.

At Seventh Row, you’ll never be a lonely movie watcher again.

What our readers are saying

Seventh Row has a specific taste

It’s a blessing that Seventh Row has a specific taste and really do go your own way, cutting some of the consensus obligations in favor of spotlighting women, Canadians, teen, and queer cinemas
Brandon Nowalk
Film Critic

Champions great art and delves deep

“I like that Seventh Row write about the films they love with such unabashed enthusiasm; that they champion great art and delve deep… Most often, I go to Seventh Row because they will have beautifully articulated the feelings I have about a film. (‘Aha! THAT’S exactly what was bugging me about La La Land!’ ‘THAT’S why Call Me By Your Name felt like summer.’)

Female and queer perspectives front and centre

When I stumbled Seventh Row…it was not unlike turning around to discover the person standing next you shares all the secret opinions you’ve kept to yourself….I craved a space to read about film where female and queer perspectives were not only valued, but front and center. Where was The Toast for film? This is all to say, I’m so glad to have found this site.
Alexander Milburn
Seventh Row reader

Enriched my movie experiences more than any other outlet today

“7R is the rare site that still writes about movies with equal amounts of passion, detail, knowledge and love. Every piece is its own little treasure of revelations, reevaluations, and discoveries. 7R has made me rethink movies — or actors — more than once, and thus enriched my movie experiences more than any other outlet today.
