Disobedience

Set in a North London Orthodox Jewish community, Sebastián Lelio’s sombre tale of friends reunited and passions reignited is an exquisitely-rendered showcase for British actor Rachel Weisz and her co-star Rachel McAdams. Working from a script by British writer Rebecca Lenkiewicz, their chemistry is a masterclass in the unsaid, but longed for.
