Review of Love (2015)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 13 Aug 2017

I've seen more eroticism in far less graphic films…

Review of God's Own Country (2017)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 09 Aug 2017

God's Own Country is a swoon-worthy romance…

Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 18 Jul 2017

Despite its obvious Oscar-bait trappings, Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea is plagued by outdated ideas about masculinity and weak…

Review of Window Horses: The Poetic Persian Epiphany of Rosie Ming (2017)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 18 Jul 2017

By getting very specific about the alienation Rosie has experienced as a Chinese-Iranian Canadian, Ann Marie Fleming gets at something more…

Review of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power (2017)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 18 Jul 2017

The film seems more focussed on responding to the skeptics of the previous film than offering a considered argument for those who returned…

Review of City of Tiny Lights (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 18 Jul 2017

Ultimately, the film's ambitions of inclusivity, both in its story and its casting, are more admirable than the execution…

Review of Lion (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 18 Jul 2017

These actors could have tackled much more difficult terrain, with grace and intelligence, had Davies and Davis given them the opportunity…

Hail, Caesar gives us a colourful feast full of excess and fun…

Review of Gleason (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 11 Jul 2017

[The narrative is] condescending and dehumanizing. It's 2015, and we deserve better…

Review of Little Men (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 11 Jul 2017

Though the performances are strong across the cast, with even Taplitz finding the emotion in his otherwise largely blank Jake, the film seems lacking…

Review of The Intervention (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 11 Jul 2017

This is an ensemble film. It's as much about what goes on behind closed doors in straight marriages as commitment-phobia across sexual orientations…

Review of AWOL (2017)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 11 Jul 2017

This love story is as much about the specificity of their socio-economic positions as it is about the effects of homophobia…

Review of Elle (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 11 Jul 2017

The trauma permeates every scene, and Huppert rises to the challenge of letting us know what she's thinking in a way that's barely palpable…

Review of Tommy's Honour (2017)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 28 Jun 2017

Although co-writers Pamela Marin and Kevin Cook handle the class warfare, romance, and father-son relationship thoughtfully, it's the performances…

Review of La La Land (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 28 Jun 2017

Damien Chazelle's new musical, La La Land, lacks this secret sauce of musicals: his characters have no particular reason, no real urgency,…

Review of Paterson (2016)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 28 Jun 2017

Although the film delights in the mundane, make no mistake: the film is a fantasy…

Review of Una (2017)

By Alex Heeney (135) for Seventh Row (175) on 28 Jun 2017

This thought-provoking and emotionally volatile story is anchored by three world-class performances…

Review of Girl Unbound (2016)
