    7 Ways to Resist This Week

    Disobedience

    Oscar winner for A Fantastic Woman, Sebastian Lelio, helms this sensual, thoughtful project that intersects female desire with Orthodox Judaism and grief that one of its stars, Rachel Weisz shepherded to the big screen. Based on Naomi Alderman's 2006 novel, the film tells the story of Weisz's Ronit who's escaped the cloistered environment of her youth to return to the north London neighborhood where she grew up upon learning of her father the rabbi's death. There she rekindles a romance with her first love Esti (Rachel McAdams), a lesbian who denied her true desire for her faith and married hers and Ronit's childhood friend Dovid (Allesandro Nivola).

    Much ado has been made about the culminating "liberating" sex scene between Weisz and costar Rachel McAdams that unfolds partway through the film. And while it's quite something to behold, Disobedience is really a meditation on freedom, choice, and remaining true to one's self.

    CNN political commentator and The Daily Beast columnist Sally Kohn has been on both side of the ring; she's written for The New York Times and contributed on Fox News. Her book about making friends across the aisle while going head to head with them on divisive issues is a meaningful look on how to approach the post-Trump world. This book explores the meaning of hate from implicit bias to racism to genocide, confronting her own prejudices and taking responsibility. Plus, it's the only book you'll find with glowing reviews from Ms. Magazine, Sarah Silverman, and Sean Hannity.

    What happens if you live out an entire relationship in 24 hours is the central conceit of Duck Butter directed by Miguel Arteta (Beatriz at Dinner, The Good Girl) and with a script from Arteta and one of its stars, out actress Alia Shawkat (Search Party, Transparent). Shawkat plays Naima, a struggling actress whose inability to be truly honest helps her blow a chance to work on a Duplass brothers' film. She meets the free-spirited Sergio, played by Spanish actress Laia Costa (Victoria), at a club and there is instant chemistry.
    Following an initial brief encounter, the pair embarks on a 24-hour experiment of living out the highs and lows of a relationship in a single day that includes a pact to have sex once every hour. A thoughtful meditation on authenticity in relationships, the 24-hour experiment was shot in 25 hours where the actors and part of the crew stayed awake the entire time.
