In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Disobedience centers progressive themes and identity at the heart of its story, critiques traditional culture, and neglects alternate viewpoints; it's a textbook case of a highly woke film by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film’s narrative leans heavily on issues of sexuality and identity, at times overshadowing nuanced character development and organic storytelling. Casting and character focus seem driven more by the need to highlight LGBTQ+ themes than by cohesive narrative structure. The emphasis on ideology does occasionally come at the expense of traditional storytelling elements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Disobedience depicts Orthodox Judaism and its values as oppressive towards individual freedom and non-conformity, particularly in matters of sexuality and gender. Traditional morals, religious authority, and family structures are often positioned as obstacles to personal growth, which clearly subverts time-honored cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film offers little in the way of genuine representation or defense of traditional perspectives, with religious tradition largely presented as antagonistic. It seems to operate in a world where only modern progressive ideas have moral legitimacy, with little honest debate or pluralism on display.
