ABOUT

We love unconventional movies and we want to share our enthusiasm with you!

Here at Back Row we're looking to do things a little differently. Instead of making yet another takedown or “Top Ten Absolute Best Movies Ever” clickbait site, we focus instead on what we love: the strange, the abstract, the niche and the under-appreciated. There’s a whole catalogue of unusual, risk-taking, and rule-breaking films ready for consumption, and we don’t think you should pre-judge or be intimidated by them. You can and will appreciate them, sometimes it helps to have a group of weirdos help interpret them.

Our mission, and why we started this site, is to create an unpretentious film review website that focuses on breaking down the meaning and visual language into conversational musings. We love drawing connections between seemingly unconnected topics, time periods and visual themes. And if we’re honest, we also just wanted to share our opinions. Because we have strong ones.

And yes, we know the saying about “opinions” and “assholes,” but that’s not gonna stop us.

Please note: this is largely not a spoiler free website
