Leave your thoughts about 7 Days in September.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIf ever there was a prime example of art bringing order out of chaos, it is Steven Rosenbaum's 7 Days in September. -- The result is a narrative at once personal, admirably coherent and, above all, heartening. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensAn almost unbearably powerful documentary. |
| L.A. WeeklyHazel-Dawn DumpertThe film may be rife with emotional declarations, but rather than the studied sentiments of news anchors and politicians, these ruminations have the quotidian ring of real people struggling with a standard vocabulary to describe something unthinkably new. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe film not only stands as an important street-level document of that time, but makes a valuable contribution to the growing compilation of 9/11 storytelling. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsThere's nothing here for commercial reality-TV shows, 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. |

| Village VoiceMichael MillerThe interviews occasionally veer into it-seemed-like-a-dream cliché, and the eerie soundtrack doesn't help. But at times the unpolished approach earns a rare complexity. |
