Reception
The LA Times called it a "bold, successful attempt at a film narrative in which images are everything and words are few."[3] The New York Times concluded that "Although it has its visual pleasures, and there’s plenty to admire about his compositions, the journey in “Liverpool” seems comparatively slight".[4] Variety felt that the "[b]rilliance of the overall conception and execution will immediately hit some viewers, while others may need to mull things over".[1]
