Good drama with some fine acting from Ellen Page and Julianne Moore.
They feel realistic as a couple and as the characters they portray, Ellen Page plays a tomboy with a bit of a manly body movement pattern and a boyish haircut to match which is true to the real life person she is portraying and Julianne Moore plays a detective who's in the closet.
Starts out solid but drops the ball a bit in the middle when it becomes a little too focused on politics instead of the close-up romance between the 2 it initially is and other characters taking up a little too much space and time.
I like Steve Carell a lot and I don't necessarily dislike his character in this it's just that his character is not the reason why we are watching the movie Julianne Moore's and Ellen Page's characters are so giving him so much to say and do in the second half takes away a little too much focus.
But it occasionally gets back on track and is overall still a pretty good film.
6.5/10
