When her rabbi father dies, Ronit (Rachel Weisz), a photographer living in New York, returns to the London-based Orthodox Jewish community she left many years previously. She reconnects with her childhood friends Esti (Rachel McAdams) and Dovid (Alessandro Nivola), who are now a married couple. But Ronit’s reappearance also reignites a long-dormant passion, with devastating consequences…

★★★★ ”Brilliantly directed by the Chilean-Argentine Sebastián Lelio, Disobedience is very different from typical British realist drama. Lelio gives even the most humdrum scenes shot in drab, grey north-London houses and streets an unlikely lyricism.” – The Independent

 “Beautifully acted by Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams and Alessandro Nivola as the three points of a melancholy romantic triangle, this is a deeply felt drama that exerts a powerful grip.” – The Hollywood Reporter
