"N. Y. Times 'Critic's Pick'- There's not a single wrong note in
"Liberty Kid," Ilya Chaiken's poignant drama. Tender, wise and
deceptively low-key... everything about this film feels effortless."-
New York Times"New York Magazine 'Critic's Pick'- Chaiken's subtle narrative touch,
along with the exceptionally strong performances of leads Al Thompson
and Kareem Saviñon, gives this one a rare emotional pull."- New York
Magazine"Chaiken makes us feel for her characters... "Liberty Kid" is a
poignant look at what might be called 9/11's collateral damage".- NY
Post"Liberty Kid elevates… by keeping a 'Wire'-worthy ear to the street
talk of south Williamsburg and maintaining a shrewd balance of the
personal and the political… an uncommonly acute, deftly played drama
of the New York working class"- Village Voice"the least explicit yet most affecting film yet to depict New York in
