Love is an act of defiance

New York photographer Ronit flies to London after learning about the death of her estranged father. Ronit is returning to the same Orthodox Jewish community that shunned her decades earlier for her childhood attraction to Esti, a female friend. Their fortuitous and happy reunion soon reignites their burning passion as the two women explore the boundaries of faith and sexuality.

Except from a conversation about the movie: "I think Disobedience could get some Oscar attention. It's depressing Jewish lesbians, so chances are pretty high. It was actually a pretty decent movie. Really didn't overplay the onscreen sex, which was good, but I do wish there were queer movies which were more middle of the spectrum. Seems like 99% of the time you either get hokey deliberate trash """comedies"""" made on 47c budgets like Yeti: A Love Story, or super serious (and almost always super grim) art-y dramas like Moonlight that are very well made but also make you very upset... Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful for both of those types of movies, but where's like... Die Hard where Bruce Willis is a shirtlifter?" P.S. I'm buying this soundtrack. Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
