Lovingly crafted, but it never builds the emotional power it's clearly aiming for-partially because the treatment feels oddly detached, but especially since it is structured so schematically.

A riveting story about love, happiness and difficult choices. Flawless performances from Weisz and McAdams.
May 11, 2018
A simmering drama that never quite reaches full boil.

Disobedience does not have the flair or flaunts of Lelio's recent films about women, but it should offer discussion aplenty - kind of like Frank Stockton's short story, "The Lady or the Tiger," always did in high school English classes.

"Disobedience" provides a didactic lesson in choice and free will.

Chile's Sebastián Lelio exemplifies the best talents of a women's director: the empathy, the ability to dramatize without soaking in cheap emotion and the expert use of the close-up shot.
May 13, 2018
Lelio's subdued approach to the material robs it of potential emotional power but also keeps the story grounded.

[Director Sebastián] Lelio's first film in English (which adds to movies like Gloria, The Year of the Tiger and A Fantastic Woman), takes up taboo themes... creating a film that will remain in your memory for years to come. [Full review in Spanish]

Lelio's film is about more than sex, or its perhaps easy ability to shock. It is a love story, as beautiful as it is devastating.
May 10, 2018
Cuts deeper than your standard forbidden-love story, largely because the actors are so attuned to their characters' anguish.
May 16, 2018
Lelio and the actors tell the story through fraught silences and meaningful glances, with Weisz and McAdams movingly conveying the feeling of being lost - and found - together.
May 16, 2018
Disobedience contrasts sharply with A Fantastic Woman for its refusal to offer up heroes to cheer for and villains to hate. There are only decisions, repercussions and the pull of tradition that makes freedom traumatic.
