The Fight

In a moment divided into heroes and villains, there's an urge for the film to go deeper into how, exactly, these lawyers use the Constitution as a cape.

[F]rankly, it's nice to see David beating Goliath on the big screen.

The unfussy stuff, the human stuff, is what works best, both for "The Fight" and the very people it follows.

The Fight is a fantastic documentary highlighting the real heroes out there: the overworked attornies of the ACLU.

The most compelling scenes show these ACLU attorneys as dedicated, albeit flawed, professionals who believe in the Constitution down to the core.

The Fight does the work of uncovering the human faces and the immense emotional and intellectual labor that make up the organization.

The Fight documents the personalities of the people who devote their lives to these pivotal human rights issues. They are human. They get excited and relieved when a favorable decision comes down. They also get flustered.

While I am (mostly) a pacifist, this is one fight I can truly get behind.

The filmmakers turn the dusty legal briefs into compelling human drama.

It is a very cut-and-dry informative documentary... But the overall point illustrates that even in victory, opposition is a constant and the fight will never truly end. Not should it.
