Liberty Heights
- Rating:
- Director: Barry Levinson
- Starring: Adrien Brody
- Details: US / 127 mins / (15PG).
Levinson takes us back to Baltimore once more (Diner, Tin Men), this time to the '50s and a tale of a high school student (Foster) coming to terms with his Jewish identity, his father's sleazy business dealings, and racial integration. The pace is lethargic but the period detail and characterisations are hugely enjoyable.
