Disobedience (2018)

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I loved this film, it was a simple love story. I don't know why some viewers say it was slow, I disagree, I don't think there was a scene that should have been left. The sex scenes were very well shot, you can relate and feel the different way the main character experienced both. The light and the darkness at key moments are also telling us something about the way they feel. I think you will not be disappointed with this movie if you, like me, love simple story telling. I totally disagree with people saying opinions about the writing and technical stuff... most of them are trying to pretend they know something... but what matters here and what always should matter, is the story and the way is told, and that my friends, is the great thing about this movie.

This film is very handsomely directed and executed, with some strong performances at its core, although it also feels like it could have been a truly great film had there been more to it. Overall it's definitely effective.

Thank you Sebastian for making this film! Thank you for taking time to properly cast the 2 main ingredients to this masterpiece! Both Rachel's are flawless and are very moving in each of their roles.You can appreciate the sensitivity of the Jewish Orthodox community and their unwavering adherence to their beliefs and traditions! Although they may be staunch on their views, one can appreciate the way they live their lives, even if you don't agree with them at all.The love story is what captivated me. These two Rachel's are completely helpless in their fight to stay away from each other and their true love for one another. You can feel the love tension immediately when they are around one another.Coming from an extremely strict Pentecostal background and being gay, this film speaks worlds to me. This is very similar to when my wife and I first got together and had to hide our love for years from our family, mine especially. This is a must see, must own, and must talk about film.

I really enjoyed this tale. I learnt a lot about a different religion, it was nice and thoughtful, they are a tight nit group who really care about each other. Although no matter how hard we try to lead a perfect life, no matter how much attention we put to every single detail, no matter how we calculate and keep a vigil on the precarious unforeseen, all our contingency plans are but a makeshift band-aid in the face the calamatous unruly heart. This was extremely well-written, there is no doubt about that, the way it unfolded is exactly how a natural thread in the living world might unfold, there was nothing forced or strained nor did the plot yank or pull us one way or anything forced! It all felt so comfortable and yet against the backdrop of the orthodox movement we also felt for everyone involved. So many different perspectives gave life to the plot added to the theme and bolstered the undercurrents, but it also left so much room for the element of mystery, once our hearts began to sink, boom! Hope loomed over the terrible pall, once our hearts felt fettered, boom! Freedom loomed over to sweep us away in a flurry of possibilities. Excellent script! 'May you live a long life' this powerful thoughtful well-intention phrase was being thrown about throughout the tale as if one might say Hallo anywhere else to perhaps our neighbors, but when the two ladies said to each other at the end, charged with so much backstory, it really moved us to look at the phrase word for word and really experience its genuine true meaning of hope rich and full teeming with glory as if said from the soul, 'May you have a long life full of truth and love and joy and hope and vision and everything that is going to make it a life worth living, and perhaps I can be in it?' It was really darling, excellent piece of film making!
