Storyline

From a screenplay by Sebastián Lelio and Rebecca Lenkiewicz, the film follows a woman as she returns to her Orthodox Jewish community that shunned her decades earlier for an attraction to a female childhood friend. Once back, their passions reignite as they explore the boundaries of faith and sexuality. Based on Naomi Alderman's book, the film stars Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams and Alessandro Nivola.



Short Review

From the very start [ilmmaker Sebastián Lelio] stacks the deck in favor of Weisz's secularized character, and as a result the Orthodox community becomes little more than the backdrop for a simple lesson about following your heart.
