'freeheld': Court Case And Courtship

Anyone knowing anything about "Freeheld" knows that it's the fact-based story of a terminally ill lesbian who went to court to ensure that her domestic partner inherited her pension benefits. Laurel Hester (Julianne Moore) is a career investigator with the police department in Ocean City, and her private life is a mystery to her co-workers, even her partner (Michael Shannon), who is rather hopelessly attracted to her. (It also, typical of movies, makes the argument after public opinion has already shifted on the issue and the cause is already won.) Laurel is not just a nice person who deserves rights but an honest cop with a long history of public service.
