What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may prove more tedious than titillating for some, but Liberté boldly blurs the line between filmgoer and voyeur.

David Jenkins Little White Lies It's a fascinating, unique and affirmative film about the revolutionary act of self-expression, and the connection between backroom intellectual inquiry and broad public thinking. Rated: 4/5 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian This film is an ordeal that I never want to go through again, but it's undoubtedly executed with a cerebral conviction and uncompromising seriousness that no Anglo Saxon film-maker could approach. Rated: 3/5 Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast Though Serra certainly looks upon, and stages, their taboo-breaking with a droll sense of humor, there's plenty of grim transgression to be found here. May 12, 2020 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene If you ever believed that Nurse Forsythe in Shivers was right on when she proclaimed all flesh to be erotic flesh, then this is the one for you. Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada [Creates] an enveloping and oppressive atmosphere. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 22, 2021 Full Review Luke Gorham In Review Online Albert Serra's Liberté continues the director's penchant for placing human rot, literal and metaphorical, within the garish trappings and knowing artifice of re-creation.

david b Of no artistic value whatsoever. No universality present. Extraordinarily tedious. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The director should just retire Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member In the age of suffocating political correctness and total dictate of simulacrums of different sorts and forms, Alberto Serra managed to make a fabulous film. I really appreciate his efforts to camouflage and to hide behind all these naked bodies wandering in a wood. Overall this film is a strange reminiscence of life stream from the Europarliament in Strasburg. 1 Sense of humor. I really appreciate this gift in any artist. Especially self-irony is priceless. 2 Idealism of the highest caliber. Only true purist and moralist can make such a 'promiscuous' film. Interesting what Haneke or Seidl would say about Liberte. I think that they will love it! 3 I really like that he has such a brave approach towards filmmaking. He opens a new era in art-house for sure. And I'm super happy about it. I need to be tricked and fooled by a true artist like Albert Serra. viva la revolution! Thank you, dear Alberto! The best of luck to you!~ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
