Reviews


70
Screen International - Unnamed
Hester’s goal was to convince politicians that gay people are like everyone else. In its ultra-mainstream style, and now in its argument for equality (which most of America endorses today), this solidly acted drama drives that point home.
70
Village Voice - Alan Scherstuhl
Beneath the clichés of prestige filmmaking beat the hearts of a couple it's a privilege to get to know.
50
Slant Magazine - Ed Gonzalez
The filmmakers, for better and for worse, stay out of the actresses' way, as Freeheld's artistry is so unadorned that the performances somehow feel more naked as a result.
50
Hitfix - Gregory Ellwood
An impressive cast and significant real-life events can’t trump the fact it’s a badly made movie.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
All the conviction the actors can muster can't make this script feel less pat.
