Trapped by plot

 Disobedience (2017)


Directed by Sebastian Lelio this film based on the novel of the same name stars Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams and Alessandro Nivola. A bisexual woman returns home to the orthodox Jewish community she grew up in for the funeral of her rabbi father.


I expected a little bit more of this film given all the talent involved, the plot was a bit predictable and not especially ground breaking. While the film does nothing wrong it does not do a lot to stand out in my opinion. Really I think I would have liked to have seen a little more character growth from the protagonist when it seems she merely serves as a vessel for growth in others.


3/5
