   Is Freeheld a trite movie?

   • Instead, Freeheld comes across as shockingly trite. Based on the Oscar-winning short documentary of the same name, Freeheld stars Julianne Moore as Laurel Hester, a respected New Jersey detective, terrified of being exposed as a lesbian to her colleagues, including her sympathetic partner Dane Wells (Michael Shannon, in rare good guy mode).

   Is Freeheld an Oscar Movie?

   • 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. This almost Caprian tale loses its strength when it trades form for an exalted sense of spectacle and celebration.
