Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by David WiegandEven knowing the outcome, watching 8... is like watching a well-scripted legal thriller.
Irish Times - 10/10 by Tara BradyWhat's most compelling about The Case Against 8 is that it is not a partisan procedural.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Drew HuntThe film beautifully connects the procedural ennui of large-scale legal cases with the individual struggles of those directly involved.
RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Brian TallericoThe Case Against 8 beautifully reminds us of the human beings who opened up their lives to the world and became representatives for one of the most important movements for equal rights this country has ever seen.
Bust Magazine - 9/10 by Amy CarlbergThe narrative is dense, but understandably so, and not without its light moments. A richly informative investigation, it pulls viewers along on a political and legal thrill ride that will have you cheering the central couples on scene after scene.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranEmotional and analytical by turn, The Case Against 8 is a thoroughly engaging documentary.
Cleveland Plain Dealer - 9/10 by Clint O'ConnorIntriguing documentary on the legal battles to overturn California's ban on same-sex marriage.
Contactmusic.com - 9/10 by Rich ClineThis may be a relatively straightforward documentary about a lengthy legal case, but it carries such a powerful emotional kick that it forces the audience to see the bigger picture.
Film Experience - 9/10 by Glenn DunksI got misty-eyed at the end of The Case Against 8, but not because of anything Cotner and White were doing. Whatever power the film has rather is in spite of their work.
Canada.com - 8/10 by Katherine MonkThe Case Against 8 is just as much a courtroom drama, a soap opera and a family channel special feature as much as it's an LGBTQ anthem because it's about people first, politics second and the fear and loathing that lasts without reason.
