freeheld - 3.5/5

If you are planning on watching Freeheld then make sure you have a box of tissues next to you. Freeheld is about a detective, Julianne Moore, fighting against the county to leave her pension benefits to her partner, Ellen Page. We all know any Ellen Page movie is bound to be a good one, but this is a real tearjerker. I do wish the film payed more attention to the relationship between Ellen and Julianne because it felt a bit rushed. Some of the other non-main characters were not as enjoyable, but I felt that overall the film was very engaging and heartfelt.
