Disobedience

“Love is an act of defiance”

Ronit Krushka (Rachel Weisz), a New York photographer, flies to London when she hears her estranged father has died. The Orthodox Jewish community in North London that cast her out years ago is waiting, and so is Esti Kuperman (Rachel McAdams), the childhood friend at the center of why she left. Sebastián Lelio keeps the camera close and the rooms quiet, so every glance between the two women carries weight.
