Kirill Mikhanovsky’s startling debut film follows Vic, a young Russian-American who over the course of a hilarious, poignant and very wild day and night in Milwaukee, ferries disabled passengers to and from their appointments while he tries to deliver a boisterous gaggle of elderly mourners to a funeral. Adopting the breakneck pace of the medical transport Vic navigates through innumerable obstacles, Give Me Liberty is a timely reminder that, for many, the American Dream remains as elusive as it is alluring. The film and its rambunctious ensemble stay with you long after the lights go on.
