Freeheld Reviews

Moore and Page deliver powerful, heartfelt performances in this stirring tribute to an ordinary couple whose love and integrity compelled them to demand equal rights in an extraordinary act of courage.

| May 20, 2022

If you're interested in watching a really solid film with a lesbian couple smack dab at the center of a small story with national implications, I cannot recommend a better place to do so than in a movie theater screening Freeheld.

| Aug 17, 2021

A crowd pleaser that dramatizes and humanizes a landmark case in the ongoing battle for gay rights.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 4, 2021

It really is just a tiny sliver, a few years of two people's lives that ended up setting a precedent for their small town. Those stories need to be told, too.

| Feb 9, 2021

Curiously, more believable exchanges transpire between Julianne Moore and Michael Shannon, while Ron Nyswaner's screenplay fails to provide sustenance for Laurel Hester's relationship with Stacie Andree.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 13, 2020

Freeheld means very well, but is ultimately too bland to have much effect.

| Apr 15, 2020

By respecting their viewpoints, their privacy, and their humanity, Freeheld is the dramatization Laurel and Stacie deserved.

| May 1, 2019

Freeheld's first act combines irrelevant police cases with an awkward early-stage romance that develops into a cheesy, sun-splashed love story.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2019

The filmmaking and plot do just enough to support the performances of Moore and Page, both of which are monumental and powerful enough to make the movie a solid success.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 1, 2019

The film inexplicably never develops into anything more than a based-on-a-true-story 온라인카지노추천 film of the week.

| Feb 14, 2019

Thanks to some superlative acting and a beautifully constructed screenplay, Freeheld is one of the unsung pleasures of the winter.

| Oct 25, 2017

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by the story here, just as you'd have to have a mind cemented shut to deny the issues of fairness under the law that are explored.

| Oct 11, 2017

Maybe Just See the Documentary It's Based On?

| Aug 22, 2017

Moore and Page don't have great chemistry, which means the heart of a movie about the power of love doesn't quite beat.

| Jul 13, 2017

This is ultimately a by-the-numbers issue pic stubbornly televisual in style and scope.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2017

A typically vanilla offering that only hints at deeper "issues".

| Dec 18, 2016

Half love story, half kind of courtroom drama, over-egging the emotion in the film diminishes the story's emotional richness. So, three stars for story rather than delivery.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2016

Freeheld is not an Oscar movie. Freeheld is an HBO-on-a-Sunday-afternoon-because-you-don't-have-anything-else-to-do movie, and as an HBO-on-a-Sunday-afternoon-because-you-don't-have-anything-else-to-do movie, it's solid.

| Sep 21, 2016

This almost Caprian tale loses its strength when it trades form for an exalted sense of spectacle and celebration. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 9, 2016

A touching film based on a true story with perfect casting. [Full review in Spanish]
