  • Guy Nattiv’s personal story behind the film.
  • The power of being truly seen.

We just saw the first reactions to Guy Nattiv’s new film, ‘The Liberation,’ and wow. Carrie Coon is absolutely blowing everyone away in it!

It’s an observant, kind of harrowing film. Very much with a strong feminine vibe. You can almost feel the muted palette, hinting at deep, quiet emotions on screen. The story centers on Rita Cooper, a woman in her forties who feels unheard.

Then, someone finally *sees* her. The line, “You carry a lot of weight around, don’t you?” It just cuts right through. Carrie Coon plays Rita, and her performance is extraordinary. She brings this pent-up energy, so much privately held feeling, to the role.

This film is super personal for Guy Nattiv, too. He based it on his own grandmother, along with stories from other cult survivors. That makes the whole thing feel incredibly real. Like, you can truly connect with the struggles on screen.

Speaking of amazing performances and gripping stories, did you catch the buzz around ‘Lust Stories 3’? Big-name directors are back for that one! (Finally! ‘Lust Stories 3’ Drops with Big-Name Directors & a Premiere Date!) It seems like everyone is talking about powerful narratives these days.

And for more exciting returns, Lee Chang-dong is back at Venice after eight years! (Guess Who’s Back? Lee Chang-dong Returns to Venice After Eight Years!) The film world is just full of exciting news right now, isn’t it? Lots to look forward to!

Our Take

We think ‘The Liberation’ is going to stick with people long after the credits roll. Carrie Coon is just phenomenal. She makes you feel every single bit of Rita’s journey, from her quiet burdens to her desperate search for belonging. It’s a powerful story, beautifully told and deeply affecting. A definite watch!
