I can't think of two actors who could be more mismatched as a couple than Julianne Moore and Ellen/Elliot Page. Page looks way younger than her years, and Moore looks like the mother. The end of the movie showed the actual people this…

This is an interesting story and the subject matter is important, but the feature film is not as good as "Freeheld", the Oscar winning documentary that this film is based on. The feature film doesn't deviate from the documentary, but…

A good movie based on a true life story. Well done.

I felt that Steve Carell stuck out like a sore thumb once his character was introduced almost an hour into the movie. The humour - as utterly hilarious as his opening scene was - seemed almost misplaced and too well done for what the film…

I enjoyed this movie very much. I liked the story, the acting, everything. This movie may help some people understand what people that are Gay go through because they have chosen to have a same-sex partner. The unacceptedness never…

This was a very powerful movie. I shed some tears and what was even more amazing was to watch this movie, then click on the extra features and watch the documentary upon which this movie was based. It is July 1, 2017 as I write this and I…

A very heartfelt and touching movie about a couple's fight for equality. I strongly believe in equality for all and this movie reinforced my beliefs. All the actors played their parts very well and Steve Carell was perfect!

Thought it could of been a TV production also rather than movie. Felt characters were abit awkward, not feeling comfortable with their roles. Not the best acting from Page either, has done better movies. Any fight against injustice is…

Not a run of the mill love story, but between a same sex couple with a huge age gap. Per wiki, film was an adaptation of Cynthia Wade's 2007 Oscar-winning short film Freeheld, a documentary about New Jersey police officer Laurel Hester's…

I like true stories but the acting was a bit flat.

Inspiring, deeply moving true story of a lesbian couple's - in a landmark for the LGBT movement - struggle to get equality. Exciting; what a story! I loved the performances by Julianne Moore, Ellen Page and Michael Shannon.

The movie reminded me of Philadelphia, not as good but still very touching. Hester was a very likeable person and I had to fast forward the last couple minutes of the movie.

A poignant and strong character study taking on themes of love, loyalty, and civil rights, this examines the efforts of a dying police detective to ensure that her pension benefits go to her same sex partner. Julianne Moore and Ellen Page…

Touching true story about love and the fight for equal rights and benefits for all people regardless of who they love. Made me cry, love knows no gender or age. The 2007 documentary is one of the bonus features.

This felt like a tv movie, not the Oscar calibre movie it could have been. I think a sharper script and maybe this would have gotten a lot more buzz than it did. Moore and Page are good, but not spectacular. It's a noteworthy story, but…

jpozenel couldn't have said it any better. I found this to be a very well done movie.

Because of the subject matter, I didn't expect this to be a very good movie, but it is actually a very good story. All of the acting was very good which make be think that the direction was also very good. I didn't much care for the…
