Director Guy Nattiv draws inspiration from his own family history for The Liberation. Loosely based on the experiences of the director's grandmother, the film stars Carrie Coon as Rita, a Holocaust survivor who leaves her family to join a cult commune.
Lily James, Bella Ramsey, Odessa Young, Tracy Letts, Siobhan Williams and Sharon Taylor also star. Noa Berman-Herzberg co-writes.
The Liberation is in New York and Los Angeles cinemas from November 6th with a wide US release on January 8th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
Rita (Carrie Coon), a woman in midlife haunted by the weight of her past, encounters magnetic young spiritual leader Ricki (Lily James) and leaves her family to follow her to an all-female commune. But when her daughters Ella (Bella Ramsey) and Jo (Odessa Young) arrive unexpectedly and become drawn into the group’s seductive world, Rita is forced to choose between the family she left behind and the life she believes can save her.
