Federica Di Giacomo

Documentary

Documentary Europe is not only a perfectly bureaucratized secular society – in the rush for a quick solution to the ills plaguing civilization, many return to the tradition of Catholic mysticism. This intriguing observational documentary demonstrates that exorcism isn’t merely a curiosity of the pop-culture canon but a service demanded by the masses.

	Media	Author	Review
		Sarah Ward Screendaily	"If the topic alone doesn’t entice enquiring viewers, then Giacomo’s candid, empathetic and non-sensationalist approach (...) definitely should."
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"The documentary’s chilling coda is what really gives 'Liberami' its power (...) The documentary wisely avoids questioning beliefs"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"Di Giacomo listens patiently to people who earnestly believe that they’re plagued by a supernatural evil. In a way, their calm certitude is as scary as any actual demon."
		Rachel Ray Telegraph	"A compelling look at the efforts of priests in Sicily to keep up with an increasing global demand for church-sanctioned exorcism (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The forces of unreason are on the march in Federica Di Giacomo’s disturbing documentary (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Donald Clarke Irish Times	"A sobering, serious watch about exorcism and those who claim to be possessed (...) The camera stays politely back (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
