Martín Rejtman’s comeback 11 years after The Magic Gloves did not disappoint. Taking a suicide attempt as the starting point and surprising us at every turn, the film is a fascinating and subversive exercise in comedy: its sophisticated storytelling, dark humor and deadpan beauty are just genius.

Lisandro Alonso’s Liverpool is a film of shimmering, tremulous beauty from a modern master of Argentine cinema. As this poetic meditation on loneliness and alienation embarks on its profound voyage through time and space, the smallest of gestures become charged with a devastating emotional power.
