This almost Caprian tale loses its strength when it trades form for an exalted sense of spectacle and celebration. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's a stiff, overly calculated piece of awards bait that has all the elements of an Academy Awards triumph - except a beating heart.

A touching film based on a true story with perfect casting. [Full review in Spanish]

Page and Julianne Moore, who plays Hester, have an easy if not electric chemistry, but they seem hamstrung by the movie-of-the-week tropes and Peter Sollett's plodding direction.

A typically vanilla offering that only hints at deeper "issues".

Freeheld is not an Oscar movie. Freeheld is an HBO-on-a-Sunday-afternoon-because-you-don't-have-anything-else-to-do movie, and as an HBO-on-a-Sunday-afternoon-because-you-don't-have-anything-else-to-do movie, it's solid.

"Freeheld" is a snapshot of a notable American moment.

[Freeheld] is sincere, to be sure, but unlikely to win any prizes. For starters, the most memorable character in this important story of a courageous woman is a man; that's a problem.
