A star-driven drama about forbidden love set in London's Orthodox Jewish community could feel trite or caricatured, but Weisz, McAdams and Nivola create complex, credible characters of deep sympathy, and Lelio's inconspicuous style is well suited to this exploration of emotions held in check - not just love and lust but all human emotions.
