MOVIE REVIEW
.
Personal faith, free will and forbidden love.
Disobedience explores these themes in a beautifully crafted tale that will make your heart ache, thanks to two standout leading performances and a great supporting one.
The film opens with Rav Krushka, the beloved leader of an Orthodox Jewish congregation in London, delivering a sermon about the tricky place human beings occupy in the world, torn between the forces of spiritual good and darkness, but provided by HaShem (God) with free will — i.e., “the power to disobey.”
When Krushka dies, word reaches his long-estranged daughter, a New York photographer named Ronit (Rachel Weisz), who rushes home but not before engaging in some pretty self-destructive behaviour. Her return is greeted with muted shock. So utter has her exile been that she doesn’t know her two dearest childhood friends, Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) and Esti (Rachel McAdams), are now husband and wife.
