  • "Follows a few months in the life of 12-year-old Bud, in impressionistic snatches of his everyday existence growing up in the Liverpool of 1956. Bud's world is influenced by his mother, his older sister Helen, and his older brothers John and Kevin. Bud is a lonely and quiet child whose moments of solace occur when he sits in rapture at the local cinema, watching towering and iconic figures on the movie screen. The movies give Bud the strength to get through another day as he deals with his oppressive school environment and his burgeoning homosexuality."
  • "Liverpool, 1956. Bud es un muchacho de doce años, sensible, tímido e introvertido, perteneciente a una familia de clase trabajadora. La estrecha relación que mantiene con su madre y, especialmente, su pasión por el cine, le ayudan a enfrentar el ambiente reprimido y opresor con el que tiene que convivir cada día en el colegio."
  • "Familie-album waarin de regisseur zeer persoonlijke herinneringen ophaalt aan zijn jeugd in Liverpool in de jaren vijftig."
  • "Terence Davies' follow-up to his Distant Voices, Still Lives follows a few months in the life of 12-year-old Bud, in impressionistic snatches of his everyday existence growing up in the Liverpool of 1956.

  • "The story of eleven-year-old Bud, a sad and lonely boy who struggles through his days. With cinema as his main source of solace, he haunts the local movie-house. All the while, his family looms large in our peripheral vision as do the menacing bullies of his school."

  • "In 1988, Terence Davies? feature film ?Distant Voices, Still Lives? was a remarkable art-house hit. It captured the choking toughness of a Liverpool upbringing with a trade-mark visual style that forever remains Davies. In 1992, he followed up with a more personal film, but it reached a similar audience. In 2012, the world will be stunned by his newest work, ?The Deep Blue Sea?, and to celebrate that release, Aztec International offers this masterwork not seen here on DVD before. Leigh McCormack stars as a sad, lonely young lad for whom the local cinema is a great source of joy. An immensely moving piece of cinema, once seen never forgotten."
  • "SUMMARY: "The Long Day Closes is the story of eleven-year-old "Bud." A sad and lonely boy, Bud struggles through his days. With cinema as his main source of solace, he haunts the local movie-house. All the while, his family looms large in our peripheral vision as do the menacing bullies of his school, but Bud is the center of attention both from the camera's angle and from his doting family. With a gray background, the film fuses clips and audio from classic movies into Bud's dreary childhood and brings it to life with an elegance Bach would bring to your home movies. The overall effect is a montage of memory which seems to ignite flashes of recognition in the viewer." IMDB"
  • "An autobiographical reminiscence of working-class Liverpool in the 1950s features Bud, a dreamy eleven-year-old who finds escape from his neighborhood and peers in the innocence, beauty, and romance of Hollywood movies."@en
