The effects of Derrick's wars -- multiple, low-key, endless -- were in motion long before he went to Afghanistan.

Chaiken's subtle narrative touch, along with the exceptionally strong performances of leads Al Thompson and Kareem Savinon, gives this one a rare emotional pull.

New York Magazine/Vulture
Even though Liberty Kid is a small film, much of it is deeply poignant; it enhances our compassion for all the ghosts of Sept. 11.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 2/4 --
Unanswered questions about Derrick's kids and Spanish-speaking mother abound, and their all-too-infrequent interactions point to a hard-knuckled realism about post-9/11 New York that begs to be seen.

Slant Magazine
As volatile as the subject matter is here, Liberty Kid is shockingly subtle. Massive aspects about the relationship between Tico and Derrick are only inferred and the performances of the leads are really quite good.

Product Description:
In the aftermath of 9/11, Derrick and Tico lose their jobs at the Statue of Liberty. As the two friends try to find their bearings, and earn a living, they are torn in increasingly different directions: Derrick ponders enlisting in the army, and Tico starts dealing drugs. Shot in and around Brooklyn, this slice-of-life drama offers an intimate look at the personal tolls of a national tragedy.
