A raw and very real portrayal of the drug and gang culture which is present not only in Minnesota but in the far reaches of Native America as well. However, the title itself is misleading. The seventh fire and the seventh generation sum up a movement and prophecy within the ojibwe culture about revilatization of culture, well-being of the earth & all life. The film portrayed indigenous life as we've seen portrayed in T.V and film since Buffalo Bill; helpless and unredemable. With a title such as "The Seventh Fire" I expected much more.

AV Club

[A] short but unforgettable debut documentary, which contrasts the lives of two Minnesota drug dealers-one grizzled, one young-as a way of exploring the larger social problem of Native American gangs.

Los Angeles Times

By tackling the larger issue of Native American gangs through the story of two northwest Minnesota drug dealers, Riccobono personalizes a problem that deserves more attention.

Robert Roten

Laramie Movie Scope

This is a harrowing, effective film about life on the reservation. It pulls no punches and offers no solutions, easy or otherwise. The only demand it makes of us is that we pay attention to what is going on here.

Rated: B

Eye for Film

Despite the drama, the film is slow and struggles to find a clear voice.
