Review of Disobedience (2018) by Ted D — 11 Jul 2018
This is the first time I find the movie better than the book. Although in my opinion, they are complementary.
When I watched the movie for the first time, I missed many important details because I didn't know much about the Orthodox Jewish culture. The movie felt disjointed and even a little shallow. Boy, was I WRONG!
After reading the book, I watched it again and was MESMERIZED by it. It captures the claustrophobic atmosphere from the book and goes beyond expected with the depth of the characters and the story.
If you don't know much about the Orthodox Jewish culture, I strongly advise you to read the book first. The movie script will surprise you in a pleasant way. Reading the book won't spoil the surprises, it will only open your eyes to SO MANY important things.
You will not be disappointed.
