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.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I love watching a film (especially a documentary) I didn't know I needed to see! Directors/documentarians Betsy West ("The Lavender Scare" 2017) and Julie Cohen ("American Veteran" 2017) have provided anyone remotely interested in the life and times of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, a look into the world of this vibrant, yet quiet warrior who lead the fight for gender equality, and to this day continues to have an effect on the lives of many with her Supreme Court decisions and "notorious" dissenting opinions. Known to her followers as "Notorious RBG," (I've got to get one of these t-shirts!), this doc introduces us to her early years, where she was one of only a few women attending the all male Cornel University, and Harvard Law school, along with introducing us to Martin Ginsberg, an accomplished lawyer himself, who loved her for her brain, at time when women were not supposed to be outspoken, but only seen. Through one-on-one interviews and footage of her various speaking engagements, touching tributes by Martin and her children, interactions with her granddaughter and more, the audience is given a worthy, historical and entertaining glimpse into the world of this amazing women. At 84 years young, and an avid workout enthusiast, one can only hope we continue to see here effects on the US Supreme Court for years to come. You may not know you need to see this film, but you'll be pleasantly surprised when you do.

RBG is a documentary directed by Julie Cohen and Betsy West.Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a remarkable Supreme Court justice. This is a remarkable documentary about her life as a justice and about her life as a person. This is a must-see movie for everyone, but, if you're not reasonably progressive you probably won't enjoy it.Ginsburg stands up for truth, justice, and fairness. As the Supreme Court turns further and further to the right, Ginsburg is more and more isolated. As I write this review, President Trump is trying to force her to resign. I don't think she will.

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.

One of my friends highly recommended the documentary to me. She said it was so good, and she saw it twice. I was laughing and crying when watching it. The most moving part is Ginsburg's marriage with her husband. He was a successful tax lawyer in NY but he gave it up because of her wife. He took care of kids and house work when she was pursuing her career goals. He supported her and encouraged her to be a justice in the Court. What a wonderful guy! I love my wife, and this really resonated with me. This documentary provides some insight into Ginsburg's life before she was a judge. She really did something to change the legal scope of women rights in 1970s. The most impressive case is the widower case. She was so smart that she chose a man to demonstrate gender discrimination hurts everyone no matter you are a woman or a man. The end of the documentary is a scene that a host ask Ginsburg a question that if she regretted not having stepped down during the Obama administration. She replied she would not resign unless she could not do her job. I think she does not regret about that. She may not concern about whether she can insist on 3 or 7 years more. Rather, she enjoys every day and every case she fights for.
