	Liberty Heights - Movie Review
		A comical and retrospective memoir of segregation and discrimination in America's golden age of denial, "Liberty Heights" is director Barry Levinson's fourth movie built around his memories of Baltimore in the 1950s and '60s.
		Told from the perspective of Ben Kurtzman (Ben Foster), the younger of two brothers living in an almost exclusively Jewish enclave of the city, the foundation for Levinson's story is the brothers' experimentation with the era's cultural polarization.
		"Liberty Heights" has a tendency to lag from time to time, which, coupled with the kids' oddly casual dispositions, impedes on the otherwise infectious nature of Levinson's wonderful, underhanded way of cracking wise.

		It's a shame, especially for the exquisitely talented Neuwirth, who, despite looking way foxier and more glamorous than June Cleaver could on her wickedest bad-girl day, is still pretty much the standard '50s housewife.
		Liberty Heights conjures the discrete and disparate worlds of Baltimore in the '50s with aplomb.
		Liberty Heights feels too much like the mellow remembrances of a middle-aged man looking at his youth through rose-tinted glasses, and too little like the passionate story of a young man coming up against the strictures of a segmented society.

	Review: Barry Levinson's Liberty Heights
		Liberty Heights follows on the heals of Diner, Tin Men, and Avalon, and it has all the strengths and weaknesses you might expect having seen those earlier films.
		The weaknesses are that it's episodic, and doesn't have a strong narrative arc.
		Liberty Heights ends well, but I felt like it was ending a couple of times, starting about 30 minutes before it was really over.

	Liberty Heights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		There's lots of broad satire (Jewish shock at being fed something called "luncheon meat" by a Gentile friend), some delicate comedy of manners (a touchingly chaste relationship between two key characters), suspense (a kidnapping), and shattering passages of pure yearning.
		Levinson is in top form with Liberty Heights, his instincts acute, his skills at the service of beauty, his purpose clear.
		"Liberty Heights" does not have the grand epic sweep of "Avalon" but is deals more directly with racial and ethnic tensions in 1950s Baltimore without falling into the usual cliches and sensationalistic traps that such socially conscious films (see "Grand Canyon" or recent Spike Lee movies) often stoop to.

	BBC - Films - review - Liberty Heights
		I bet Barry Levinson is one of those affectionate middle-aged dads who remembers his childhood as if it were yesterday.
		With "Liberty Heights" he sets his fourth film in Baltimore, specifically 1954, a time of social excitement, upheaval and unease, when school desegregation was introduced, cars were becoming the most desirable object of all and rock 'n' roll was busy inventing the teenager.
		In a film where all the performances are first-rate (the young actors in particular convey the exhilaration and confusion of the era), some scenes are given an emotional lift by rich, relevant dialogue, others have to shoulder just a tad too much talk.

	Eye - On screen - 12.09.99
		Set in Baltimore in 1954, the year when racial desegregation and rock 'n' roll started changing the face of white-bread America, Barry Levinson's Liberty Heights depicts a series of collisions between Jewish, WASP and African-American characters hailing from a variety of lower-, middle- and upper-class backgrounds.
		For the most part, though, Liberty Heights is a well-crafted and well-intentioned comedy.
		Instead, Whalen blows it up to unsustainable proportions in a misguided effort to reach dramatic heights better left for a second or third directorial outing, and actors more comfortable with histrionics.

	LA Weekly: Film Review: It's a Small, Small World
		The boys entertain their own prejudices, mainly about the fl kids being bused to their school, mostly about easy sex and prodigious genitalia, but since their world hasn't been rocked by James Brown, they don't yet know if their anxiety is deserved.
		Liberty Heights tells how Ben, his friends and his family learn to live with change, and since the movie was written as well as directed by Levinson, most of the changes are good, most of the people are good, and most of the jokes are pretty good, too.
		Liberty Heights is the director's fourth feature set in Baltimore, and his funniest, loosest film in years.

		Liberty Heights is the fourth film in the series (I guess we can't call it a "trilogy" anymore), which began in 1982 with Diner.
		Following that film were Tin Men and Avalon, each film being set in Baltimore during the 1950's and 60's.
		Few films are so well written that the characters come to life as they do in Liberty Heights.
