Disobedience | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The film repeatedly demonstrates that one of the best ways to build passion in a film is to present the implicit unspoken in a manor to outweigh explicit expression. The fates tempted here are subtly perilous.

Esti plunges herself into the terrifying uncertain place between obedience and disobedience, and it is her courage to stay there — to be defiantly out-of-sync — that powers Lelio’s arresting film.

Disobedience takes a social minority, a Jewish community - and even more so, one with conservative beliefs - to expose the feelings of another minority, women, and more specifically of a third minority, lesbians.

Disobedience is a new take on star-crossed lovers, and, unfortunately, one that doesn’t quite stick the landing. It’s a fascinating rumination on the intersections of free will and religion through a love story that never got to see its full potential.
