Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Terence Davies, England's greatest living filmmaker, has released only six features, and this one is his first documentary, a mesmerizing and eloquent essay about his native Liverpool.

The film invites a reverie. It inspired thoughts of the transience of life.

fresh:
Davies has carried out the duty of expansive memoirs. Instead of high-tailing it away from the rigors of reminiscence, he pushes headlong through them.

fresh:
A warm and extremely thoughtful journey, with a deliberately bare-bones narrative.
