What's most compelling about The Case Against 8 is that it is not a partisan procedural.

Globe and Mail
Rating: 3/5 --
The film is a powerful evocation of the permanent revolution of the battle for equality and human rights, but ultimately The Case Against 8 is stymied by the reversal of the legal decision not to allow the legal case to be filmed.

Rating: 3/5 --
There are a few tears along the way and some laughter, but the four at the heart of the case display a remarkable stoicism and modesty, emerging as the most modest of heroes.

Rating: 3/5 --
The Case Against 8 documents, quietly and without histrionics, a long-drawn-out process of advocacy. It presents not only the legal conduct of the case, but also the daily lives of those most intimately affected by it.

Description by OLDIES.com:
This revealing HBO documentary takes an in-depth look at the movement to overturn Prop 8, and at the historic federal lawsuit filed to challenge its constitutionality. The film chronicles a five-year struggle for marriage equality that changed history and the landmark case that paved the way for marriage equality battles nationwide. With exclusive behind-the-scenes access to both the powerhouse, and unlikely, legal team (David Boies and Ted Olson) and the four plaintiffs in the suit, filmmakers Ben Cotner and Ryan White have created the definitive account of the battle that effectively ended marriage discrimination in California.
