Carrie Coon.
Sean FennesseySep 5, 2026THE LIBERATION is an incredibly heavy and dark film about a Holocaust survivor who abandons her family to join an all-female cult led by a seductive Lily James. Carrie Coon is an absolute beast of an actor, tapping into some really complex and weighty emotions to deliver a…
Matt NegliaSep 17, 2026Carrie Coon is very good in this movie. Tracy Letts is very good in this movie. Lilly James is in this movie. Feels like it would’ve made for a better HBOMax miniseries

Coon’s performance endures, an actor we typically associate with strength showing how convincingly fragile she can be.
