The Hollywood Reporter
Beautifully acted by Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams and Alessandro Nivola as the three points of a melancholy romantic triangle, this is a deeply felt drama that exerts a powerful grip. - 83
The Playlist
The elegance of Disobedience, which in the wrong hands could be sensational and one-dimensional, cannot be overstated. - 83
The Film Stage
Disobedience‘s journey is one of authentic emotional honesty excelling in instances of insecurity and fear. - 80
The Guardian
This is richly satisfying and powerfully acted work. - 80
Screen Daily
Leilo’s unassuming style serves the story and provides a great showcase for both performers. - 80
Variety
None of these three characters are tidy, but neither is desire, nor faith, nor love, and Lelio resists every opportunity to make them so. - 75
IndieWire
Disobedience is a beautiful, fraught, and emotionally nuanced drama that wrestles with hard questions about the tension between the life we’re born into and the one we choose for ourselves. - 75
Slant Magazine
In the end, Disobedience is less about the subjugation of the self to the group than the courage to embrace uncertainty if one were to break out of the prison of a world one has been born into.
