Day One. Both in the theater and on Blu-ray.

[Jexes23]

I like the cover. I think I might like some of the scenes too. Might have to pick this one up.

[Darrin88]

Contains one of the most erotic non-explicit sex scenes in recent memory. I got to see a sneak
peak at this film that everyone will be talking about.

Going to the theater this weekend to check it out.

[Doctor Jack]

Rachel McAdams is always day 1.

Wow, I only saw A Fantastic Woman just a couple a months ago and already his next movie is in theaters/blu-ray? Was there some schedule delay that affected one or the other?

Just finished watching this. This movie is incredible!

[Scoot79]

Couldn't find this anywhere today. Not at Best Buy, not at Super Target, not at Walmart Supercenter. No surprise, I guess.

Ordered it from bullmoose.com for just under $21 shipped.

Same. Redbox has it on DVD, so I just rented the DVD so I can see how much I like the movie.

I ordered this yesterday at bestbuy.com when I saw nobody had this in store. Today, it's not on their website anymore. It will be interesting to see if it ships.

I liked this overall but felt it was too long and there were too many scenes that just bored me. So I thought it was good but had a lot of room for improvement. But I get that some people like this style, it just didn't work that well for me, for this movie.

Loved this one. One question though, why did McAdams character have a wig on when she had a full head of hair underneath?

Just got this Blind Buy from Amazon today and slip cover came MINT
will be watching this after the other 3 Blind Buys I got....

I just watched it tonight -- FINALLY! -- and thought it was incredible. But there were certain details, such as the one you asked about, that I was not comprehending. I assume it has something to do with Hasidic Judaism? Because she seems genuinely surprised when she sees Weisz wearing one.

But see, this is why a film like this needs some damned extras! Some of these things could be explained.

Great freakin' film, though.

Don’t need extras for this though, just google wigs and Judaism

Disobedience was an incredible film; I recently saw this on Blu for the first time. The two Rachels are gorgeous & had amazing chemistry together; and the acting was very natural. AN was also excellent as the rabbi who played RM's husband - I've seen him in other films, and barely recognized him here; he essentially disappeared into the role so well that he became the character he was portraying.

The love scene(s) between the two Rachels were extremely erotic without being at all explicit (and there was almost no skin in these scenes). This may not have worked as well in another type of film, but it was very appropriate here - well done.

Liked the setting; the tight-knit Jewish UK community was realistically portrayed with everyone living close to each other in the same area, shopping @ the same neighborhood stores, etc.

It's evident that the RW character left the community years before, almost certainly because she was either pressured to leave by her father (because of her attraction to the RM character), and/or because she felt it was the right thing to do re: not wanting to cause more tension/pressure in the community - given that everyone knew everyone else's business.

I liked the ending - it was realistic, and mirrored what would happen in a real-life situation.

[Show spoiler]I.e., you can't always have what you want & you do sometimes have to live a life that is less than satisfying because of your commitments to others - it's not fair, but life is definitely not fair in many cases.

I came in for the sex and came away watching one of the best films of the year.

I knew nothing about the sex going in. I was very interested in the premise. I love films that have to do with faith being challenged and identities suppressed, and then if warranted such things be found. Though personally I would rather to be left in ambiguity.

I agree, this is one of the best films of the year. And while that sex scene is one of the best sex scenes in the history of sex scenes, I would encourage people to view the film not based on that aspect. But if they do that's completely fine too.
