Our take

A piercing debut from British photographer Richard Billingham, Ray & Liz evokes the work of Terence Davies in its retelling of the director’s Thatcher-era upbringing. Gorgeously shot on 16mm, it’s a striking study in familial dysfunction told with great sensitivity and a disquieting sense of humor.
