Chris Galust doesn't even have a Wikipedia page, but that just makes his performance in 'Give Me Liberty' all the more impressive. Lauren "Lolo" Spencer, holy smoke, what an inspirational and funny performance. Please find people like her who can act and entertain despite having a disability. And let's cast these two immediately in meaty rolls. This is a Kirill Mikhanovsky picture. He directed, edited, and co-wrote and it's a brilliant piece of art for a first time feature filmmaker. Listed as a comedy, it's flat out entertaining, but it's not a LOL comedy if that's what you're expecting. Made with virtually no money, and not one actor you'll recognize unless they are in your family, it's essentially a miracle. A great finish which picked up for a lagging second act. Final Score: 7.8/10

This film is a big bubble of chaotic goodness. With an original story and an energetic drive (and driver) this weird road movie will bring you among real people with real challenges.

First half is madcap dynamite, once it starts getting more serious it bogs down a bit.

Wittily and dynamically, the film makes palpable the struggle to do well by people in need.

Austin Chronicle

Give Me Liberty's biggest victory is in avoiding depicting able-bodied driver Vic [Chris Galust] as the shining knight-in-armor savior, or sacrifice the other actors as props to inspire able-bodied audiences

Rated: 3/5

Those who demand at least a modicum of originality in exchange for their entertainment dollar won't be shortchanged by this divinely chaotic comedy.

Film Festival Today

There is liberty in speed, for sure, but also in the embrace of small, quiet moments. May such freedom be ours for the taking, always.

Give Me Liberty is the kind of film that would be frustrating if it wasn't so fun.

Cinemalogue

The multilingual screenplay strikes a balance between a deadpan sense of humor and a humane approach to compassionate coexistence that's both sobering and uplifting.
