From Sebastián Lelio, the director of the Academy Award-winning A Fantastic Woman, Disobedience was called“the must-see lesbian film of [2018]” and introduced us to #TheRachels. The film follows a woman, played by Rachel Weisz, as she returns to the community that shunned her decades earlier for an attraction to a childhood friend (Rachel McAdams). Once back, their passions reignite as they explore the boundaries of faith and sexuality.
