Our take

From auteur Pappi Corsicato—who started out as Almodóvar’s assistant in Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!—comes this high-energy debut starring Iaia Forte. Surreal and lighthearted at once, Libera makes best use of off-kilter humor to paint the extravagant lives of three women in present-day Naples.
