Carrie Coon’s Cult Drama 'The Liberation' Premieres at Telluride

Variety’s Tomris Laffly praises Carrie Coon’s performance in Guy Nattiv’s new film, 'The Liberation,' which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on September 4, 2026. The 125-minute psychological thriller, distributed by Bleecker Street, follows Rita Cooper, a depressed Holocaust survivor in 1980s New Jersey who is recruited into a female-led cult by the enigmatic Ricki, played by Lily James. The film uses a dual-timeline structure to contrast Rita’s domestic life with her docile existence in the commune, highlighting themes of female camaraderie and exploitation. Laffly notes that the film’s deeply personal nature, drawn from Nattiv’s grandmother’s experiences, gives it an urgent and harrowing quality, with Coon’s range serving as the central anchor of the narrative.
