I remember seeing this for the first time at AFI Fest, and a group teenagers sat in front of me. I thought, they'll probably leave after the first few minutes, but they actually ended up staying through the majority of the film, only leaving when Farrel leaves. Alonso know exactly what the fuck he's doing. And what a wonderful little DVD package Second Run put together for this film.

The first twenty minutes are a perfect illustration of the essential loneliness of the sailor. After that it's just ok - tragic but not compelling.

Devastating. Farrel is a ghost at the center of the most beautiful mise-en-scene I have seen in recent cinema

After the abysmal Fantasma and the uneven Los Muertos I doubted this one was going to be good, or on a level to La Libertad... but he seems to have learnt from his previous experiments and crafted a great film. The long takes of traveling, eating, picking things up etc all feel natural unlike in Fantasma where it feels pointless... The ending was the only let down for me... I prefer when Alonso keeps away plot...

Pretentious and unengaging. Not everyone can get away with minimalism. Lisandro Alonso, I'm lookin' at you.

Beautifully observant and deeply enriching journey of discovery.Through haunting silences and endless long takes, LIVERPOOL creates an indelibly reflective and endlessly engrossing atmosphere.

For the very first time Alonso does in "Liverpool" something that you may find more "accesible". It's really a movie with a more classic movie construction if you want, but, even in that condition, Alonso makes something very strange. A truly haunting movie, "Liverpool" have to be one of the "most" in Alonso's short but amazing filmography.
