Freeheld
It’s the fourth quarter and you know what that means right? Drama-romance films are here for movie goers to begin cuffing season. Starring Julianne Moore, Ellen Page, Steve Carell, Luke Grimes, and Michael Shannon, meet Freeheld. While we’ve seen limited promotion for the indy-film this fall, it’s starting to pick up steam leading up to its release tonight, which has wondering if it’ll have some success in the box offices. With music composition from Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr, the Manhattan-based film (with New Jersey elements) centers on a true story of a police detective, Laurel Hester, who’s been diagnosed with lung cancer.
While upstarting a new relationship with car mechanic Stacie Andree, Laurel is looking to transfer her pension benefits but sees a few roadblocks. As the two lovers face unfortunate roadblocks, this former Indy standout film shares an inspirational story on a couple’s fight for equality.
