Disobedience (2017)
Powerful and Intriguing
I was excited about this film the minute I knew it starred Rachel Weisz and Rachel Mcadams. The former is undoubtedly brilliant in general and in this role and as for the latter I have a new found respect for. This movie is profoundly intense. I mean need I say more when the plot consists of among other things a passion reigniting. The two female leads are brilliant as the film centres around them but the male lead in Nivola deserves a mention too. I was as always because of Weisz mostly in cinematic bliss.
Novitiate (2017)
A realistic portrayal of the conflict between religion and sexuality amongst others
Good performance all around by the cast. Rebecca and Margret have great chemistry.A big thumbs up for casting them for the particular storyline. The film is a bit slow to get to point where their characters are concerned but the point is made nonetheless. I would've liked a little more screen time for the two woman because in my view their relationship is the drawcard of the film. Ultimately the rest of the cast did a great job portraying the other issues around becoming a nun. Great film.
