Synopsis

Fifteen years after the end of World War II, Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad and security agency Shin Bet – led by the tireless and heroic agent Peter Malkin (Isaac) – launched a daring top-secret raid to capture the notorious Eichmann (Kingsley), who had been reported dead in the chaos following Nazi Germany’s collapse but was, in fact, living and working in a suburb of Buenos Aires, Argentina under an assumed identity along with his wife and two sons.

.

Monitoring his daily routine, Malkin and his operatives plot and execute the abduction under the cover of darkness just a few feet from Eichmann’s home. Determined to sneak him out of Argentina to stand trial in Israel, Malkin and Eichmann engage in an intense and gripping game of cat-and-mouse.

Cameron Post (Chloë Grace Moretz) looks the part of a perfect high school girl. But after she’s caught with another girl in the back seat of a car on prom night, Cameron is quickly shipped off to a conversion therapy center that treats teens “struggling with same-sex attraction.” At the facility, Cameron is subjected to outlandish discipline, dubious “de-gaying” methods, and earnest Christian rock songs-but this unusual setting also provides her with an unlikely gay community. For the first time, Cameron connects with peers, and she’s able to find her place among fellow outcasts.

  • New York, 1980: three complete strangers accidentally discover that they are identical triplets, separated at birth.

San Francisco Chronicle Review: 5 STARS

“Three Identical Strangers” tells a remarkable story. In fact, it tells several. It’s already extraordinary 20 minutes in, and then it goes to unexpected and yet more amazing places, like a narrative feature by a master storyteller.

But this is a documentary. Specifically, it’s about three young men in the New York area who made it into their college years without knowing that they were part of a set of triplets, adopted separately. The year was 1980, and the discovery was made when one of the triplets happened to transfer into a college where everybody seemed to recognize him. The subsequent reunion with what he assumed to be his twin resulted in press coverage … causing the third triplet to surface.

Already, this is interesting in all kinds of ways. The triplets were identical and had a lot of habits and preferences in common, similarities they played to the hilt in the midst of the media blizzard that followed. Indeed, they played up these similarities to themselves, seeming to glory in discovering their other two-thirds.

CRITIC & AUDIENCE REVIEWS :  80% Approval

.

***************

.

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.
