"Julianne Moore and Ellen Page bring all their talent to this drama, inspired by true events, about a lesbian couple's fight for LGBT rights in the US. It is true that the movie does not stray away from melodramatic clichés, but thanks to the performances of both, along with Michael Shannon and Steve Carell, it succeeds in moving and making you think just right."
