Bleecker Street has released the first trailer for *The Liberation*, a dramatic cult thriller written and directed by Guy Nattiv, starring Carrie Coon as Rita. The film, previously known as *Harmonia*, centers on a mother who escapes a traumatic past and finds comfort in a secluded all-women’s cult, only to face a difficult choice when her daughters arrive.
All outlets describe the story as rooted in a real-cult account. The Liberation is presented as being inspired by Nattiv’s grandmother and her experiences, with the cult luring women by promising freedom from their burdens. The trailer also highlights the film’s ensemble, including Lily James as cult leader Ricki, and Bella Ramsey as one of Rita’s daughters, alongside other cast members named in the coverage.
Beyond the trailer itself, outlets note its festival run and Bleecker Street’s scheduled theatrical release in January, with some coverage listing additional festival stops while others focus more directly on the trailer and the film’s early reception buzz from Telluride.
