RBG Trailers

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg now 84, and still inspired by the lawyers who defended free speech during the Red Scare, Ginsburg refuses to relinquish her passionate duty, steadily fighting for equal rights for all citizens under the law. Through intimate interviews and unprecedented access to Ginsburg’s life outside the court, RBG tells the electric story of Ginsburg’s consuming love affairs with both the Constitution and her beloved husband Marty—and of a life’s work that led her to become an icon of justice in the highest court in the land.

Reviews
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
richard-1787 The trick in reviewing this movie is to separate what you think of the subject, Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, from what you think of the art of the movie. What I think of Judge Ginsberg is not relevant to this site, so I'll restrict my comments to what I though of the movie, which I just saw this afternoon.I thought this was really a very well put together documentary. A real effort was made to find people who have known RBG at different points in her life, from her childhood in Brooklyn to the current day. Some of the commentary is negative, especially at the opening, most of it is positive, but without fawning. Much of the movie is funny, which is a real achievement given that Ginsberg herself is not a particularly funny woman, nor is the law usually a barrel of laughs.It does a reasonable job of explaining the development of her career as a lawyer and judge, and shows that, to a certain degree, her most important work was done before she arrived at the Supreme Court. It keeps things moving, and never lost my attention.It allowed conservative like Oren Hatch and Anton Scalia to express their views about her. They were both able to distinguish what they thought of her legal opinions and the respect they had for her legal mind.A well done documentary.
abeaurivage Fabulous movie. Fascinating from legal perspective and the great work moving gender equality forward and moving and touching report on her great love
maclock You can disagree with Ruth Bader Ginsberg all you want, but it's hard to refrain from agreeing that this is a well-made documentary. Recommended.
gardner-ee A dynamic and unapologetic telling of one of the most influential legal minds in our history. It's great to show a story of how important dissenting opinions are. Just because she's not winning over the conservatives that share the bench with her you get to see the importance of making sure your voice is heard. Loved hearing from Lily Ledbetter. Who's another fighter for women who never got a true victory for herself but has gain so much ground for the women after her. True heroes aren't always victorious in their fights but the ground the gain by pushing back is shared with all those that come after them. Thank you RBG and the strong team of female filmmakers who told these stories.
