| New York ObserverRex ReedIt’s a poignant, relevant and beautifully made film that must not be missed by anyone with a heart and a social conscience. |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyAll the conviction the actors can muster can't make this script feel less pat. |
| Associated PressJocelyn NoveckIt's a well-made but matter-of-fact account of a gripping story, one made more poignant by the advances made in gay rights in the decade since. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowAs often happens in re-telling a recent true story, the movie trips over the proportions in trying to get the facts straight. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerFreeheld is certainly timely, though, given its ponderous approach, less than invigorating. |
| National PostChris KnightThere aren't a lot of surprises in Freeheld. But that doesn't diminish the emotional punch of the story or the calibre of the performances. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayAccessible, relevant drama with a trio of great performances by Moore, Page and Shannon. |
| NOW TorontoSusan G. ColeThis pic belongs to Page and Moore, who make us care deeply about this complex couple. Bring kleenex. |
| We Got This CoveredDarren RueckerFreeheld shows the ways a conventional love story is affected when its participants are the victims of injustice. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferDirector Peter Sollett wisely keeps the focus on the two very private women at the center of a storm that never should have broken. |
