FREEHELD is a drama, based on a true story, about a female police officer who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and then embarks on a fight for equality to pass on her pension benefits to her domestic partner, who is also a woman.
language
There is a single use of strong language ('f**k'), with other bad language including uses of 'Christ', 'hell', 'damn', 'shit', 'screwed', 'screwed up', 'screwing over', 'ass', 'crap' and 'bitch'.
sex
There are moderate sex references such as a gay man joking to a woman that he "wouldn't know what to do with your vagina". There is also a scene in which two fully-clothed women kiss and lie down on a bed, with one stroking the other's leg before the scene ends.
additional issues
The film also contains discriminatory language, with terms such as 'dyke' and 'fag' reflecting the homophobic attitudes that form part of the story. These attitudes are challenged by the central character's fight for equality. There are also scenes of emotional upset, images of the physical toll taken by serious illness, and drug references in the context of police work. There are also scenes of smoking.
