Flat, and lacking the archly deadened attributes of Todd Haynes' Carol, a quartet of World's Greatest Actors work hard to animate a timid movie.

Moore gets to wear a striking wig but has no dialogue that makes you look twice. And the more Stacie cries over her saintly lover, the more guiltily conscious you become that your own eyes are water-free.

Why does Michael Shannon get the best written part in a lesbian drama?

You've got to feel sorry for the makers of Freeheld. They must have thought they had it in the bag.

One to avoid.

Even if the script and direction don't deserve of them, you still can't go too far wrong giving the heavy lifting to Julianne Moore and Ellen Page.

Jun 30, 2016An emotional tribute-film to Laurel Hester and Stacie Andree. They were a gay couple, who reluctantly turn activists, when Hester was denied the ability to assign her death benefits to her partner, Andree. The acting is stellar if the direction is not. The storyline takes a predictable note, but none of that matters. By the time you see photographs of the real Hester and Andree at the end of the movie, you'll be wiping away tears.Aldo G Super Reviewer

Feb 21, 2016Heartfelt and heartrending, "Freeheld" is a real tearjerker of injustice, loss and hope. The dialogue lacks inspiration, but the intimate acting of Moore and Page make up for it.Christian C Super Reviewer
