Reception
Eulàlia Iglesias of Fotogramas gave Libertad 4 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be "a debut film that brings to the surface with remarkable subtlety an everyday inequality".[4] She highlighted María Morera and Nicolle García, whereas she negatively pointed out that the choice of characters exclusively speaking Spanish felt forced.[4]
Beatriz Martínez of El Periódico de Catalunya gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, presenting it as "a perfectly woven story about class differences, inequalities, mother-son relationships, teen friendship and the youthful yearning to discover the world".[2]
Philippe Engel of Cinemanía gave it 4½ out of 5 stars, considering that Roquet "constructs a prodigious visual and sound montage".[3]
Anton Merikaetxebarria of El Correo gave the film 2 out of 3 stars, considering that the director resolves the underlying coming-of-age story with the required "sensitivity and good taste".[14]
Reviewing for Mondo Sonoro, J. Picatoste Verdejo, gave it 8 out of 10 points; they presented Libertad as a film about oblique affections, considering however that the entanglement of unrequited affections laid out in the plot is presented in a measured balance.[15]
