Disobedience Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
From the very start [ilmmaker Sebastián Lelio] stacks the deck in favor of Weisz's secularized character, and as a result the Orthodox community becomes little more than the backdrop for a simple lesson about following your heart.
Autostraddle
Erin Sullivan
I was informed by my viewing companion that I started to do the "wrap it up" hand motion before the credits even began to roll.
Bitch Media
Jourdain Searles
Disobedience is the kind of woman-at-a-crossroads film I love: I am enthralled by women discovering their true selves, seeking pleasure and challenging the way they are perceived.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
[McAdams'] slow-burn of a performance is an undeniable stunner.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The film gets the exterior structures of religion, and even gets the idea of belief, but fails to grasp its content...Of course, such considerations are easy to overlook when a decade's worth of repressed sexuality is bubbling over.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Ronit is rebellious, Esti is repressed-two points that Disobedience repeats over and over until the dynamic starts to feel caricatured.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Lelio and the actors tell the story through fraught silences and meaningful glances, with Weisz and McAdams movingly conveying the feeling of being lost - and found - together.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
A simmering drama that never quite reaches full boil.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
All three principal actors - Weisz, McAdams, and Nivola - give effectively constrained performances. They work as a team here, consistent with the delicate balance in their characters' complicated relationships with one another.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Cuts deeper than your standard forbidden-love story, largely because the actors are so attuned to their characters' anguish.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A riveting story about love, happiness and difficult choices. Flawless performances from Weisz and McAdams.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Such great work from Weisz and McAdams -- and an equally stellar performance by Alessandro Nivola as Dovid.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
If the film lacks a formidable emotional impact, that's partly by design.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The sexual tension between Ronit and Esti colors the entire film, and it's intense. Both Weisz and McAdams are terrific. But so is Nivola; the order of Dovid's world has been shaken.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's rare in film to see such a symbiosis between actresses - rare, because there are so few opportunities.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Rachel Weisz's nuanced performance... overcomes the film's indecisive ending.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Lelio's style seems careful and restrained in "Disobedience" - the colors are drab and muted, the characters speak enigmatically. But there's a bold flamboyance to his style even within the desaturated color palette and claustrophobic environment.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
What warmth there is - and it is considerable - radiates from its three lead performers and a script that treats each of the central characters as neither hero nor villain.
The New Republic
Jo Livingstone
[Rachel] McAdams feels like an uncanny piece of casting, at least to me, who grew up nearby, though secular, in North London.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams brilliantly enact this tale of forbidden same-sex attraction in London's Orthodox Jewish community. No one who follows the groundbreaking trail that the movie blazes is going to shut up about it.
