Kim Hughes Original Cin An uncommonly intimate documentary about an extraordinary woman, 7 Beats Per Minute connects the dots between womb and wider world, following its subject as she comes to better understand the contours of her ability. Rated: B Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate But the more Lu presses the issue upon Kang, the more 7 Beats Per Minute becomes a different sort of captivating beast with further reaching consequences. Rated: 6/10 Apr 28, 2024 Full Review Brian Farvour The Playlist One should presumably emerge from “7 Beats Per Minute” and be convinced of Lu’s dedication. Rated: C+ Apr 9, 2024 Full Review Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org an absorbing and poetic dive into the psyche of someone who pushes herself farther than some are willing to go. Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex The question of documentarians pushing their subjects to dangerous extremes has rarely been shown in this light. It helps 7 Beats Per Minute stand out as both an achievement of physical will and the moral quandary of the medium. Rated: 7/10 Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
