Naomi Alderman's impressive novel has been adapted for the screen by Sebastián Lelio and Rebecca Lenkiewicz and under Sebastián Lelio's direction and very sophisticated cast of actors bring to life a love story that is at once daring and powerful and deeply moving. Chilean writer and director Sebastián Lelio garnered many awards for his recent film A FANTASTIC WOMAN as well a GLORIA: he is rapidly becoming the leading name in fine challenging films. Ronit Krushka (Rachel Weisz) returns to England after hearing that her estranged father Rav Krushka (Anton Lesser) has died. He visits her old friend Dovid Kuperman (Alessandro Nivola) and discovers that he is now married to Ronit's long ago lesbian lover Esti Kuperman (Rachel McAdams); Ronit, Esti and Dovid has been childhood friends and when Ronit left her Jewish enclave to live in New York, the traditions and rules of the Jewish sector pushed Esti to marry - Dovid. Ronit is a fine arts photographer (her session photographing the tattooed Trevor Allen Davies is a treasured moment), Esti has become a shul teacher, and Dovid is now in line to take Rav's honored place in the synagogue. Under the eyes of Moshe Hartog (Allan Corduner), and his wife Frumka (Bernice Stegers), and the gossips Ronit gradually and subtly rekindle their old love in a richly and well-filmed passionate manner. The unification is challenged by gossips, rules, and Dovid's memories of Rav's final words that freedom is the most treasured aspect of life and the story ends with a sophisticated resolution.Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams and Alessandro Nivola are brilliant and the film is one of cinematic wonder. The intact Hebrew chants and singing add immeasurably to the story, as does the musical score by Matthew Herbert and the cinematography by Danny Cohen. Subtle, rich in emotion and understanding of both Jewish tradition and lesbian love, this is a film to treasure. Highly recommended

Usually this type of movies goes really wrong. But "Disobedience" has overcame this difficult subject with the absolute stimulation and yet sensitive/rational directing choice of keeping it real. They managed to keep it "down to earth" so to speak. And the devotion of the two amazing actresses, Rachel Weisz and Rachel Mcadams absolutely lead this movie to success. Every scene was totally real, lively and believable. (And very very hooot!) Beautiful music, a little humor here and there. Well made, BRAVO!

Rachel Weisz stars as a Rabbi's daughter returning to an Orthodox Jewish community that's shunned her because she didn't want to adopt their ways. This is a common problem in Orthodox communities when people choose a different belief system than the one they were raised with. It presents a myriad of challenges to navigate and this film portrays it with the utmost delicacy.The film has a brilliant pseudo-horror vibe with the voyeuristic looks that her disapproving peers inflict upon her with as she sits with them at dinner or walks through the streets alongside them. The film is advertised as a film about a lesbian relationship, but it's really a film about free will because being in a pre-marital sexual relationship, dating a secular jew, even having secular Jews in your friend circle or getting an education all lead to the same end result of shunning anyways. Perhaps it's my experience in this type of community, but the film is beautiful, spot-on, tense, sexy , and treats each of the three leads (Rachel McAdams and Allesandro Nivola) and their character arcs with a great sense of resepct.

The only thing I have felt watching this movie is how the characters show love to each other and both Rachels were able to depict this love all through out the film. The way these characters looked at each other with such passion really gets through me.
