Full Plot Details

Terence Davies (1945- ), filmmaker and writer, takes us, sometimes obliquely, to his childhood and youth in Liverpool. He's born Catholic and poor; later he rejects religion. He discovers homo-eroticism, and it's tinged with Catholic guilt. Enjoying pop music gives way to a teenage love of Mahler and Wagner. Using archival footage, we take a ferry to a day on the beach. Postwar prosperity brings some positive change, but its concrete architecture is dispiriting. Contemporary colors and sights of children playing may balance out the presence of unemployment and persistent poverty. Davies' narration is a mix of his own reflections and the poems and prose of others.

Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 10/10 by David NohRichly rewarding, elegaic evocation of a filmmaker's very specific past.
eye WEEKLY - 10/10 by Jason AndersonCaustic, rueful and profound in equal measure, Davies' new documentary rises above the muck of Cannes, be it on screen or underfoot.
Film4 - 10/10 by Matthew De AbaituaA masterpiece. Davies demonstrates how art achieves the universal from the particular.
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by Ian FreerDroll, angry, erudite, moving, this is the most poignant, beautiful, entrancing British film of the year.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 10/10 by Sukhdev SandhuBut it's a sham, a risible and almost militantly superficial piece of regional PR that exposes the snobbish and flimsy foundations on which Davies's bewilderingly inflated reputation rests.
Village Voice - 10/10 by J. HobermanTerence Davies revisits his youth to decidedly mixed effect.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe film is made up chiefly of found footage and therefore lacks the mise en scene of its predecessors, but it has the added benefit of Davies's voice-over narration, which, thanks to his training and experience as an actor, is enormously powerful.
PopMatters - 9/10 by Cynthia FuchsThe effect of visual movements in Of Time and the City is fantastic. Even as it documents urban life and recalls events, it offers Terence Davies' analyses of the history that has shaped him.
Variety - 9/10 by Leslie FelperinResult is by turns moving, droll and charming, and niftily assembled, but not necessarily that profound.
AV Club - 9/10 by Scott TobiasA caustic, witty, regretful elegy for a place so transformed that it's virtually unrecognizable.
