Great acting by Julianne Moore in a kinda averagely told story
Greetings from Lithuania.

“Freeheld” (2015) is a movie based on a very real story. I won’t go into plot details, but this is kinda inspirational story. The lead performance by Julianne Moore is great – you won’t expect anything less from this caliber Oscar winner, and she delivers it. Movie itself isn’t bad by any means, at running time 1 h 40 min it wasn’t boring and i watched it in one sit, and that is not a bad sign. But movie-making wasn’t original or exciting and etc. This is a very averagely told story, with any emotional deep (script lacks of it) or anything else for what i could remember this movie for longer then one day after i finished it.

Overall, “Freeheld” is very watchable movie with no lasting impression. There are many well known faces in this movie, but they don’t have much to do, script is very flat and predictable, directing is very simple. This is OK movie for one evening.

Could have been better…
If you’ve already seen Philadelphia (1993, with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington), you’ll watch Freeheld and have a feeling of déjà vu. Written by the same screenwriter, Ron Nyswaner, Freeheld has all the elements of its predecessor: (i) it’s inspired by true events, (ii) the main character has a disease and enters into a legal battle while sick, and (iii) there is a lot of prejudice against homosexuals. Despite all the similarities, Philadelphia is superior, and I’ll try to explain why.

As Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, we see Julianne Moore transforms physically as the disease progresses. She always gives great performances, but I felt like I enjoyed it more during the first act, when she was struggling to keep her relationship a secret. Ellen Page is also great, especially when she’s defied by her future boss who doesn’t believe she can work repairing cars because she’s a woman.

Having said that, the best character, in my opinion, is Dane Wells (Michael Shannon), Laurel’s partner in the police who struggles with himself when he finds out she’s gay, but ends up helping her. Steve Carell is also in the cast and he was very applauded by the audience in the session I was in. He definitely gave the film a lighter and funnier tone, since it’s clearly a tearjerker.

Philadelphia had a different effect on me because the characters involved are more complex: the audience knows why Tom Hanks’ character was fired, but the discussion is deeper than “because he’s gay”. In Freeheld, on the other hand, we see the “Freeholders” discussing Laurel’s request behind close doors and their decision is simple and fast, with no further questions (except for Josh Charles’ character). So, even though we all knew the ending to both films before they actually end, Freeheld felt like an old formula to me.
