Critic Reviews for 7 Days in September
A.O. Scott – The New York Times
“It recreates what those days felt like with excruciating precision: the wild panic, the moments of funereal calm, the spontaneous blossoming of solidarity and fellow feeling.”
Kevin Thomas – Los Angeles Times
“If ever there was a prime example of art bringing order out of chaos, it is Steven Rosenbaum's 7 Days in September.”
Megan Turner – New York Post
“A worthwhile addition to the reams of footage of the day the earth stood still.”
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert – L.A. Weekly
“The film may be rife with emotional declarations... these ruminations have the quotidian ring of real people struggling with a standard vocabulary to describe something unthinkably new.”
Jack Mathews – New York Daily News
“Just history caught on the run, offering a raw and timeless reminder of the day we had our eyes opened to the power of blind hatred.”
