On the outskirts of Birmingham and the margins of society the Billingham family perform extreme rituals and break social taboos as they muddle through a life decided by factors beyond their control. At times shocking and laced with an unsettling humour, three episodes unfold as a powerful evocation of the experience of growing up in a Black Country council flat.

Press Quotes
What distinguishes 'Ray & Liz' is its ability to find strange tonal nuances within that terrible sadness; bleak as it is, it's remarkably devoid of bitterness or rancor, and even its most despairing passages are flecked with humor and hope
—Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
Gorgeously photographed on 16mm, Richard Billingham's Ray and Liz counters the grubby, quasi-authentic tenets of so-called British miserablism with humor, beauty, and a sensuality that in no way dilutes the hardships and neglect at its core
—José Teodoro, Film Comment
We often say art 'cuts close to the bone,'... Ray & Liz slices clean through [it]. For years Billingham has examined the scenes of his childhood in acclaimed photography, documentary, and other projects, but now he takes us even further
—Andrew Lapin, NPR
