Hollywood Reporter

A meandering journey, too tepid to stir up the feelings of yearning and rebellion that it aims to evoke.

Kimber Myers

Los Angeles Times

With a resume primarily populated by documentary films, two-time Oscar winner Sanders might be forgiven for issues with script and actors, but even the basics of filmmaking, such as editing and camerawork fall short.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

The question of whether the couple will consummate their relationship isn't a sufficient source of tension.

Common Sense Media

Tender coming-of-age tale has language, drugs, and sex.

Rated: 3/5

Film Inquiry

As a coming-of-age tale, Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey is inoffensive, as a reminiscence of the Cold War years, it's inert, as a whole it's completely inconsequential.

Film Journal International

Drifting unsurely from scenes of the couple's fairytale, lovestruck bliss to moments of gritty, grindhouse suspense, Liza, Liza doesn't cohere in tone or purpose.
