Rachel Weisz saying she just wanted to be in a lesbian movie. I hear ya girl hahaha

[@anairenemartinez165]

RomanyGypsy92 she says she wanted to make a woman about 2 women, so logically, lesbians!

[@jenniferravolet9852]

And we always wanted her to!

[@shirsch7048]

They both are just so gorgeous and shows some of the cages that women are put in, lesbian or not.

[@jstellacc]

This movie should have been up for an Oscar…it has to be one of the greatest love stories ever created and the performances were nothing short of amazing.

when Rachel Weisz said "Ive read a lot of lesbian literature." I felt that

I watched this movies 6 times in one day. The scenes between all actors were intense, affectionate, complex and intriguing. I hung off every word. I felt the yearning they had for eachother. A beautiful film so grateful to have come across it.

[@camrentoorealcam8437]

They should make more movies. Both Rachael’s have a lot of chemistry.

[@philipschrute8487]

Alixs B. They're perfect for this movie's casting

[@sls.x2026]

Damn these Rachels... Is it just my gay mind or do they really have these chemistry with each other. I thought Weisz is amazing but the more I watch this movie again and again the more I fall in love with McAdams, too. It's rare to me to fancy both lesbian characters in a movie. And it's awesome. Straight people sadly never have this experience.

[@ohthelovelypoems]

They felt the chemistry too. Weisz has said it was amazing.

[@Danny-mg1hu]

How can actors not turn into a serial killer after playing one? It's called ACTING.

Rachel McAdams... Classy...

[@underratedcritic1983]

It's kind of weird to think that of all the Mean Girls cast, McAdams made it the furthest.

[@era95v]

Underrated Critic She was great in that movie but also the rest of the cast weren’t exactly the beat actors out there. They are good just not great, Rachel is part of the greats.

You gotta be a great actor if you slay at a villain role

Amanda Seyfried made it too

[@laurabrown8161]

Yall. This movie is truly extraordinary.

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I've just seen the movie, and I found it incredible, furthermore, Disobedience is comparable to Brokeback Mountain movie because of the intensity, the plot, and where two people have a hidden affair, which no one has to know. As a Chilean, I'm so proud of Sebastian, and he can triumph abroad, so this is one of the reasons why his film "A Fantastic Woman" got Oscar winner.

[@ramabaiapparao8801]

[@naynayrivers]

When Weisz says she “read a lot of lesbian literature”, she is talking about a lot of scripts w/ lesbian characters. She says before this that there were two in particular, “Disobedience”, and her new film coming out later this year, “The Favorite”, both lesbian roles. I’m not sure why anyone would get angry though if she were to read lesbian literature to get to know her character(s) more... lesbian love is not like any other love, sorry, but that’s the truth.

[@caahsbr3459]

Morgs I think she was searching for great women roles and for that she read a lot of lesbian literature. It was her calling the director lelio to make the movie.

[@naynayrivers]

Loli Popp but with more passion and intense. You answered your own question lol :)

[@Danny-mg1hu]

eh? she specifically search for lesbian roles. i can sense gayneess coming from her yet she labels herself as straight.
