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

[Creates] an enveloping and oppressive atmosphere. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 22, 2021

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 4, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2020

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.

| Jul 29, 2020

Though the film pokes fun at the erotic history of French cinema (and society as a whole), Liberté is also part of it.

| Jun 19, 2020

Serra decides to talk about sexuality with no rules, and he does it in the best way he knows and that, despite being so far from the present, resonates a lot with today's society. [Full Review in Spanish]

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

Serra achieves something fascinating through repetition, though the film is by design more compelling to think about than to experience...

| Original Score: B | May 5, 2020

Serra, a cinematic character himself who parades around the festival circuit in dark shades making deadpan declarations, makes movies that dare you to operate on his wavelength - and then works overtime to make that investment worthwhile.

| Original Score: B+ | May 4, 2020

Manages to depict explicit sex in very dull fashion

| Original Score: D | May 4, 2020

"Liberté" plays an arguably specious moral and intellectual game, poking around the porous areas between squalor and perdition, and ultimately producing a pictorial and aural container of tedium.

| Apr 30, 2020

What Liberté also illustrates, only too well, is how something that might once have been daring can now feel de rigueur.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 30, 2020

Liberté goes on a little too long but it's still a fascinating ride.

| Apr 30, 2020

Liberté is a brilliant portrait, but one that's more appealing to think about than to sit through.

| Dec 23, 2019

A new radical peak in Albert Serra's cinema. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 15, 2019

Liberté is a provocative and daring work not so much because of its images' frontality but because of where it places us. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 14, 2019

Shows that [director Albert] Serra has not rested on his laurels. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 12, 2019

[Appeals] to the spectator's voyeurism. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2019

A travel into the night plenty of desire, plenty of social prejudices, plenty of silence, into the woods. An audiovisual artwork. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2019
