Rating: B --
[A] film in which the memories you can't shake and the memories you won't let go become indistinguishable from the ones you never had.

AV Club
Performed with absolute commitment by its cast (Justin Salinger and Ella Smith play the younger versions of the title characters), "Ray & Liz" is a quietly harrowing movie.

New York Times
Curiously, in the hard domestic portrait that the director traces there is not a moment of rancor or bitterness. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: 7/10 --
The film clearly demonstrates why Billingham's childhood has informed so much of his artistic career, but it proves a little harder to find a way to empathise with it.

The Digital Fix
What distinguishes "Ray & Liz" is its ability to find strange tonal nuances within that terrible sadness; bleak as it is, it's remarkably devoid of bitterness or rancor, and even its most despairing passages are flecked with humor and hope.

Los Angeles Times
Billingham's famous photos are tough-minded and emotionally painful, silent by virtue of their medium. And his live-action version offers a similar experience.

TheWrap
Despite failure to provide context of family dysfunction within the rust-belt of Black Country in Northern England, it is still a keenly-observed portrait of the director's own family.
