"Liverpool, the city of vanished splendours and tragic departures, has never been paid a more poignant tribute than it is here. Terence Davies' impressionistic docu-memoir is at once a love letter to his birthplace and a farewell: "we leave the place we love, and spend a lifetime trying to regain it." The film attempts that reclamation through an inspired compound of poetry, aphorism and music, which archive producer Jim Anderson links to extraordinary images of Liverpool in the Fifties and Sixties."
Anthony Quinn in The Independent

"Terence Davies' new film, his first for eight years, is a heartfelt and even ecstatic study of Liverpool, the home town of his 1950s boyhood. The movie is brashly emotional and sentimental - sometimes angry, more often hilarious. Nothing has given me more pleasure this year: the sweetness of its temper, the unfashionable seriousness of its design and its mixture of worldliness and innocence make for something sublime."
Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian

"This rich cinematic memoir of Liverpool from Terence Davies is a British gem. Of Time and the City is elegant and slightly elegiac, a poetic remembrance of things past populated with working-class kids in long shorts clattering around cobbled streets."
Wendy Ide in The Times
