LIAM is directed by Stephan Frears & that was the main reason I watched it, I viewed a very bleak, sad tale of a dysfunctional family in Liverpool during the 1930`s. The title character is 6 year old lad who has a speech impediment.Ian Hart is the father of Liam, a teen age daughter & an older son. The actress who plays his wife is a very hard woman to figure out,She seems to show no love for her family, BUT she does love them in here own way. This is also a tale of the Catholic Church & how the priests & teachers brainwashed the childem. These scenes came accross as anti-catholic in my eyes. The acting & direction are first rate, BUT this is such a sad bleak tale I find it hard to recommend.
My rating is mainly for the acting & settings, music & other production values.
*** 85 points/100 IMDb 7
