There is a reason Disobedience keeps coming up in conversation. Disobedience treats its central relationship as something worth taking seriously. New York photographer Ronit flies to London after learning about the death of her estranged father. Ronit is returning to the same Orthodox Jewish community that shunned her decades earlier for her childhood attraction to Esti, a female friend. Their fortuitous and happy reunion soon reignites their burning passion as the two women explore the boundaries of faith and sexuality. Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams lead a cast whose chemistry carries the emotional beats. Disobedience came out in 2018. What makes Disobedience work is that the leads feel like people first, a couple second. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Disobedience is ideal for viewers who want romance served with real character development. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Rachel Weisz's performance makes the emotional stakes feel real, not manufactured. Worth watching alone or with someone who shares your taste.
