Coon Elevates The Liberation Into a Haunting Study of Control

Carrie Coon delivers a breathtaking, multi‑temporal performance as Rita/Naia in Guy Nattiv’s The Liberation, a tense, deeply personal thriller about a middle‑aged woman drawn into a predatory female cult; the film blends intimate drama with suspenseful cult‑story psychology, anchored by precise direction, period detail, and a gripping final act as Rita fights to reclaim her life.
