Disobedience is a 2017 romantic drama film directed by Sebastián Lelio and written by Lelio and Rebecca Lenkiewicz, based on the novel of the same name by Naomi Alderman. The film stars Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams, and Alessandro Nivola. Set in North London, it tells the story of a woman who returns to the strict Orthodox Jewish community for her father's funeral after living in New York for many years, having been estranged from her father and ostracised by the community for a reason that becomes clearer as the story unfolds. The film was produced by Rachel Weisz, Ed Guiney, and Frida Torresblanco.

Disobedience had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on 10 September 2017. It was released in the United States on 27 April 2018, by Bleecker Street and in the United Kingdom and Ireland on 30 November 2018, by Curzon Artificial Eye.

The film received some positive reviews, with critics praising the performances of Weisz, McAdams, and Nivola, Lelio's direction, and the screenplay. It was nominated for the British Independent Film Awards, GLAAD Media Awards, and Dorian Awards for Best Picture.

German rating company Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft has rated the movie FSK 0 (released without age restriction). United Kingdom rating company British Board of Film Classification has rated the movie 15 (for strong sex).

Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams are both superb in this and they carry the movie on their shoulders even when at times its undecided where it wants to land. The complex trio and family politics is handled really well but I felt the middle half didn't do enough. There is also no backstory which would have helped the present story more powerful.
