Audience Reviews for Liam
-
The trials and tribulations of a 7 yr old lad in 1930's Liverpool. Oppressed by poverty and his Catholic faith, Liam tries to cope with a speech impediment and a school system determined to literally beat the devil out of him. A gritty, solid little film that falls somewhere between <i>Angela's Ashes</i> and <i>This Is England</i>.
-
A strong story told without mercy but never losing any realism. A very important British gem to watch, and to learn and think with. 61/100
