RBG (2018)

Capsule Summary *minimal spoilers):

RBG is a documentary by Julie Cohen and Betsy West, about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

This is a wonderful documentary about her. You get her background and her life’s story, which I barely. She’s a great voice on the court, and it touches upon all aspects of her life, right through current times. There are many interviews included in the film from a number of politicians and other spokespeople, some of which were surprising.

Rather than providing a dry lofty portrayal, it gets into various things that most people didn’t know about. She talks frankly about her struggles, and there’s a bit of the fandom that precedes her, and a bit about her fan base.

I wholeheartedly recommend this documentary, which has opened in NYC on May 4th. This movie will definitely be on my top ten list for 2018.
