Los Angeles Times film reviewer Kenneth Turan wryly observed that
Liam, director Stephen Frears’s British film about an Irish family in 1930s Liverpool, “does a better job of re-creating the ambience of Frank McCourt’s
Angela’s Ashes than that film did.” Avoiding the dramatic and visual monotony that makes Alan Parker’s 1999 film of
Angela’s Ashes such an unrelievedly dreary experience,
Liam brims over with the roiling passions and variegated colors of childhood memory.
The titular protagonist, Liam Sullivan, is a seven-year-old boy played with almost miraculous authenticity, intelligence, and sensitivity by Anthony Borrows, an angelic-looking newcomer discovered by the filmmakers on their casting search through Liverpool schools.
