What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

4/5
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. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 12/02/2020
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast 05/12/2020
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. Go to Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene 09/10/2021
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. Go to Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada 07/22/2021

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

david b @Dobishop 12/26/2020 Of no artistic value whatsoever. No universality present. Extraordinarily tedious. See more 12/14/2020 The director should just retire See more 09/30/2019 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!~ See more Read all reviews
