Documentary on the life and work of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg whose legal legacy changed the world for women. Now, at 85, RBG continues to fight for equal rights and has become an unexpected cultural icon. Through interviews and unprecedented access to Ginsburg’s life outside the court, RBG tells the story of Ginsburg’s love affairs with both the Constitution and her beloved husband Marty.
Piecing together interviews, public appearances and archive footage spanning her career, RBG is a concise and surprisingly intimate portrait of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second female justice to ever be confirmed to the United States Supreme court and one of the most significant and influential women in modern political history.
Full reviewEven with such rich material, the movie can be a tad prosaic. But as you listen to Ginsburg read her words, you begin to perceive the secret of her power.

This spry celebration reveals that the real Ginsburg is neither beast nor badass, but an even-tempered, soft-spoken mediator-not typically the traits that inspire rousing high-fives

Finding reciprocity - in the eyes of the law, your partner, your colleagues - is the essence of this documentary, one that comes at a moment that desperately lacks it.

The movie's touch is light and its spirit buoyant, but there is no mistaking its seriousness or its passion.

As a primer in recent history, and a reminder of how shockingly recent some victories for basic human rights have been in the "land of the free", RBG is a necessary and very recommended film. Bravo.

You may love or hate her, badmouth her or bow down to her. But you have to recognise the impact that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has made to the fabric of our country.
Full review
This woman is a force, and the great service this clear-eyed and admiring documentary provides is to emphasise not just Ginsburg's work on the court but how extraordinarily influential she was before she even got there.
Full review
A documentary that, like its subject, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is eminently sober, well-mannered, highly intelligent, scrupulous and just a teeny-weeny bit reassuringly dull.
Full review
The documentary is at its best when it digs into how Ginsburg changed the legal landscape of America.
