On the Seventh Day Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
A winning slice-of-life drama.
Quelle Movies
Raquel Stecher
A poignant drama about Mexican immigrants in Brooklyn. Features non-actors in a superb yet quiet story about finding joy in a life filled with endless work.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
Jim McKay's Brooklyn set and shot real life drama shine a light on those on lowest rungs of the economic ladder and finds drama, comedy and empathy.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
This is a small movie, but a real one, a look at immigrant life that focuses as much on joy as it does on hardship like one of those human interest stories that go viral.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The movie should be required viewing for every politician in America. It's a gentle but clear-eyed reminder of the way things are, for so very many of us.
WBUR’s Arts & Culture
Sean Burns
If the movie accomplishes anything it will at least make everyone who watches it a better tipper.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
We have seen many underdog-turned-champion-against-all-odds movies over the decades, so making it feel fresh and new is a tough task. Writer-director and his cast and crew make it just that.
Seattle Weekly
Robert Horton
Writer/director Jim McKay is clearly gifted at capturing authentic places and faces, and that's what gives On the Seventh Day its everyday enchantment.
SF Weekly
Jeffrey Edalatpour
The director calmly asserts the reality of life on the margins without descending into melodrama or tragedy.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
It is almost a gentle, sweet film.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
It's a small-scale triumph of humanistic filmmaking... A genial, extended anecdote about good people trying to get by while holding on to some dignity.
Village Voice
Monica Castillo
McKay captures a genuine sense of the bittersweet reality of the American dream and the people who give up their only weekly day of rest just to keep it alive.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
McKay's control of tone and rhythm is in high gear, creating a work both thought-provoking and hugely entertaining.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"En el Séptimo Día" pulls off the tricky feat of feeling utterly natural as it ratchets with the mechanics of drama and suspense.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
On the Seventh Day brings a certain levity to wrenching matters of daily survival by thoroughly humanizing its characters, thus preventing them from feeling as if they're being written as stand-ins for thematic ideas.
Film Comment Magazine
Nicolas Rapold
The plot does set up a somewhat silly sitcom-ish contrivance at the end, and Cardona's comrades are thumbnail sketches, but none of that ruins the film's on-the-go glimpse of a life.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
[Fernando] Cardona's performance is unshowy and great, but the best thing about [Jim] McKay's film is how well the filmmaker uses his setting.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
McKay demonstrates ... that his gifts as a filmmaker are as vital as ever.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Once the movie arrives at its brilliant climax, the cumulative effects of passing details lead to sweeping payoff.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
Each elegantly framed shot, every deftly observed moment expresses something organic and moving.
