   Is Freeheld a tragedy?

   • When Andree takes to the stand, late in the film, to make a passionate plea for her partner’s request, it fails to emotionally register. Such is the tragedy of Freeheld: a film that should feel urgent and of its time, but instead is rendered cliched and dull by Sollet’s amateurish handling of the material.

   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).
