"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
the weeks and months after the towers fell."- New York Sun

"There may have been two or three dozen American films that struggled to make sense of 9/11 and its aftermath, but none of them have done more with less than "Liberty Kid"... It's a simple story, engagingly told, wonderfully
acted and shot with an eye for the beauty of the Big Apple's unglamorous outer-borough neighborhoods."- Salon.com

"Epic and resonant… to her eternal credit, Chaiken keeps her movie
grounded in her characters, allowing Thompson and Saviñon's
true-to-life performances to carry us through…"- Nerve

"A powerful drama… Chaiken works with a delicate touch… Potent,
thoroughly believable performances… Deeply poignant".- Hollywood
Reporter

"Smoothly kinetic… Glaringly real."- Variety

"Packs a visceral punch"- TV Guide Online

"Sensitively drawn… Strong performances".- LA Weekly
