Liam Reviews
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
A vivid, intense evocation of a ... time and place.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film is built on strong performances.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Liam is largely devoid of emotion. He's a detached, distanced observer, and it's hard for the viewer not to feel the same way.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Stephen Frears makes every note count for a lot in this beautifully gauged microcosm of big emotions expressed in small gestures.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
One of [Frears'] loveliest, most heartfelt films.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A heartbreakingly beautiful film.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Borrows' Liam -- well, they found the right kid, without a doubt.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Is this fussy folderol the only way to teach that it's wrong to hate? According to Frears, 'tis.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Complex, heartbreaking, beautifully made.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
An emotional investment well worth making -- the vision Frears creates is hard, but, even at its bleakest, recognizably human.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
It's been beautifully made with tact and care.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
Too much registers as overly familiar: The Church is an easy scapegoat, and poverty and joblessness are obvious villains.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Liam is worth seeing, though, to celebrate a director taking risks when he doesn't have to.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Beautifully cast and acted, with young Borrows giving a performance as natural as it is heartbreaking.
Dallas Morning News
Jane Sumner
A welcome if somewhat familiar picture.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A strong, shaggy, very perceptive film and also a funny one.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
Your heart will ache for the little Liam, who has yet to lose his innocence in the face of unbelievable cruelty.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
A sterling-silver ensemble and Stephen Frears' visually sensitive direction lift a familiar, but ultimately potent, 1930s portrait of a Liverpool family.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
Borrows delivers one of those remarkable, pre-adolescent performances that rises from a place so pure it's impossible to criticize.
