"You are free."
My mother had her worries about my attending a Catholic university, and it's only recently that I've come to understand why that was. I always had Jewish friends growing up, or at least other Jews around me. In college, none of my friends even had a real understanding of what Hanukkah was. This huge thing I was raised with, that meant so much to me, had absolutely no value to the people I was spending every day with. It's taken me a while to realize, but I really lost a greater sense of community then, and that seemingly minor shift affected me deeply.
I can only imagine what it's like to grow up in an Orthodox community…

Not a critique of religion as much as it is a critique on the community surrounding religion (in this case the Orthodox Jewish community) and the skewed perception with which religion is viewed through a patriarchal tradition, while juxtaposing our main characters and their differing paths, neither of them necessarily content with where their lives have led, yet their freedom lies within the other. I guess when we boil it down to its bare bones, this…

rachel weisz's indifference when she found out she didn't actually inherit her father's house?? in modern day london real estate??? unrealistic

Disobedience is LGBT+ cinema done right.
It does not rely on the sexuality of its characters to be the only interesting feature of it, and instead, offers audiences a rich tale centered on faith, friendship, and what it means to be truly free. -

a masterpiece. if either rachel ever looked at me the way they look at each other every five seconds in this i would be pregnant too! everyone say thank you rachel weisz for giving this to us

This was objectively a very good film but why did they have to have a close up of spitting in mouths at all, let alone TWICE?
