An intimate British drama about faith, family, and the cost of obedience within a Jehovah’s Witness community. Through the eyes of two sisters and their mother, Apostasy examines how devotion, fear, and social pressure shape personal choices and loyalties when the possibility of leaving the faith is proposed. Daniel Kokotajlo’s restrained direction and raw performances create a claustrophobic mood, delivering a powerful study of belief, guilt, and generational fracture.
