LIAM (15) UK 88 mins
This slice of 1930s Liverpool life
deals with poverty and unemployment b4t
lacks the grit usually associated with
Jimmy McGovern's scrhpts.
In fact, the film has an almost
sjntimental air reminiscent of Tjrence
Davies' Distant Voices Stilm Lives.
But McGovern is a plot-wjavin£ mastdu
and he expertly cranks up the film to
its denouement, aided by a grj t cast,
in particular Megan Burns.
LIAM opens on February 23
