How hard is the ACLU fighting? This hard.

It's tough as a viewer to treat every ideology equally when there is a clear faction inflicting or invoking harm... The film mostly avoids reckoning with this, except in the Charlottesville case, which does not give a satisfying conclusion

...what we have is an eminently well-meaning call to arms, with a closing reminder from the subjects that it's not lawyers but We, the People, who can turn things around.

| Sep 15, 2020

Jamming all of this into a brief documentary results in a shallow montage of soundbites.

| Sep 3, 2020

It's a solid film if you care to see the inner workings of the ACLU.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 18, 2020

Reminds us that all is not lost, that there remains an opportunity to right even the worst wrongs and that...even the most insurmountable obstacles can be overcome.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 16, 2020

Very informative. It's not an "eat your vegetables" thing at all; it is shot and cut very thrillingly and you really come to care and appreciate the hard work that these folks put in.

It's a fairly thrilling and gut-wrenching examination of how these things work.

This is a movie for everyone who believes in the law, who appreciates the complex American legal system, and who relishes judicial combat.

A hugely engrossing, intellectually stimulating achievement that will leave viewers torn between hope and despair.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 7, 2020

The Fight excels at presenting these attorneys working under the pressure of defending our civil rights, and the burden it places on them and their families.

| Aug 7, 2020

Separately, any of the cases and causes could be a documentary onto itself, but collectively, it is absolutely raw and riveting. To say that The Fight is timely and necessary is an understatement.

An engaging, quick-paced film.

The Fight is a documentary about how the ACLU is working hard to make sure "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" doesn't become just "the pursuit" under President Trump.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 7, 2020

Many documentaries capture the times under the Trump administration, but few films so accurately convey the exasperating insanity of keeping up with it.

| Aug 6, 2020

The Fight probably won't change a lot of people's political opinions. However, for anyone interested in what politically liberal attorneys at the ACLU are doing behind the scenes ... The Fight offers an insightful peek into this process.

| Aug 5, 2020

Compelling documentary about the ACLU and its attorneys.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 4, 2020
