Désobéissance - Avis

Rachel Weisz is powerfully good in a wrenching story of forbidden love

The drama is expertly controlled by Lelio, lit and shot in muted and subdued colour tones by cinematographer Danny Cohen and it has a very interesting musical score by Matthew Herbert...

...en sällsynt berörande film...

All three principal actors – Weisz, McAdams, and Nivola – give effectively constrained performances. They work as a team here, consistent with the delicate balance in their characters’ complicated relationships with one another.

It’s an achingly beautiful portrayal of love, loss, lust and regret...

A fraught and emotionally nuanced love story about the tension between the life we’re born into and the one we want for ourselves.

This is Lelio's third film in a row about women (the first being 2013's "Gloria"), and he is deeply empathetic to the ways in which repressive societies put women in all kinds of impossible double- and triple-binds.

Den dova tonen i fotografi och skådespeleri sätter stämningen av förlorade drömmar, av själar som tvingas gå omkring i alldeles för trånga människokostymer. Det är suggestivt och övertygande – respektingivande!

...er så genneminstrueret, så nøje tænkt i detaljen og så fokuseret, at man føler, man er dumpet ned i noget, som fandtes allerede.
