“‘Liquor Store Dreams” is one of those quietly powerful films that may appear on the surface to be little more than an extended home movie, but should prove to have a devastating and emotional impact on all who are lucky to see it.”
— Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com
“Um’s film, expanded from her 2018 short LIQUOR STORE BABIES, validates the importance of representation by way of the marginalized communities it uplifts in celebratory fashion, and the empathy it effortlessly generates.”
— Brent Simon, Golden Globe Awards
