New York Daily News - Jack Mathews

Levinson is so skillful at developing personalities, even among the story's would-be villains, that by the halfway point of the movie, every gesture and expression has unexpected depth and texture. The performances are across-the-board superb. Read full review

Film.com - Tom Keogh

Levinson is at the top of his game with Liberty Heights, his instincts acutely cinematic, his purpose clear. Read full review

Washington Post - Desson Thomson

Demonstrates what writer-director Levinson does best: evoke the sights, smells and atmosphere of his youth with intelligence, humor and a keen sense of social perspective. Read full review

Chicago Tribune - Marc Caro

Few mainstream films portray the religiousness or ethnicity of characters with such detail, warmth and humor as Liberty Heights. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle - Edward Guthmann

Has integrity, but the way he bends his tale to make a statement is overly deliberate. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Ken Fox

Levinson brings it all back home to Baltimore and delivers his funniest and most heartfelt film since "Diner." Read full review

Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector

Told from too many perspectives, the narrative puts suspense above substance, and its social consciousness seems contrived. Read full review

Um filme excelente de drama com alguns elementos de comédia que aborda assuntos importantes como o preconceito pela raça. Ótimas atuações, super recomendo.
