Liverpool Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
glennfish-19643 Long cuts, fantastic scenes, total lack of dialog, personality, meaning, and plot.Watching this movie is like something you do on your death bed when you have nothing else to do before the last breath.After watching this movie, you will wish you were on your deathbed, if this is the height of cultural attainment by the producer, director, author.Before watching this movie, go watch the concrete outside your home corrode. After a year or two, this movie will grow on you. Until then, not.
dmartincannon This "film" has about 5 minutes of material, and even that is pretty uninteresting. Loneliness, bleakness, alienation, alcoholism, all have done before a thousand times better than this. Endless scenes of minimal content, virtually no dialogue, opaque characters, all add up to a movie that can be watched at triple speed with no loss, because, despite claims for it as a bleak masterpiece, there is no THERE there. How many times do we have to watch this man trudge through the snow, put on his coat, take off his coat, eat a meal? How did such a film ever get financed? Perhaps a state grant? Maybe some leftover funds to be distributed before the end of the fiscal year? There is no other explanation. Don't waste your time.
filmalamosa Normally I like neorealism or just plain realism type films--films that show real people in a real environment.However this by itself is usually not enough... the main character or characters in these films whether professional actors or not...have to be able to carry the movie. They have to have some ability to show the theme of what the film is about.In this film it would be going back to a place you came from and finding the people cold or indifferent (his mother did not even recognize him).Fine this is a good theme... but the actor in this film does not react in a convincing way to that type situation...so what you end up with is a bunch of real life scenes and faces but nothing else in fact the sailor kind of destroys the film he could be left out and you'd have a better result.
M A Liverpool is a painstakingly meticulous study of an inborn loner's journey of solitude, soul-searching and guilt. It is a credible projection of one's decision to isolate and marginalise himself and the price to pay for leaving his everything behind. It is not an easy subject which one may hear about or witness day in day out. The film is rather empirical than critical and is conscious not to press hard for an answer or value judgment.I can fully understand why some people left the cinema halfway through the screening or even sooner. To some, the mentality and behaviour of the lead character is bound to be a completely alien if not incomprehensible concept. Certainly it is not their fault for not being able to understand, and indeed this may be a bliss for them. On this premise a relatively low "popular" rating is explained. However, to some in the audience, Liverpool can be a long-awaited mind-reader which crosses paths only once in a lifetime and can be a deeply personal movie which speaks loudly for and into their hearts.It is bound to be a mainstream miss. But it is priceless to some.
