Sebastián Lelio’s Disobedience is a powerful, intimate drama about a woman (Rachel Weisz) whose return to her childhood community reignites a forbidden love with a married friend (Rachel McAdams), testing the limits of faith, identity and freedom.
“ ★★★★ The Guardian. The drama is expertly controlled by Lelio, lit and shot in muted and subdued colour tones by cinematographer Danny Cohen and it has a very interesting musical score by Matthew Herbert... This is richly satisfying and powerfully acted work. ” more
“ ★★★★ Empire Online. An understated yet profound examination of identity and self-sacrifice, this honest depiction of repressed romance will unashamedly tug at every heart string. ” more
“ Rolling Stone. Without dialogue, Lelio creates a whole world that can be read eloquently and movingly on the faces of two superb actresses who give unstintingly to its creation. ” more
