One of the breakout successes of this year’s Sundance Film Festival, RBG
traces Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s remarkable rise,
from her earliest days in Brooklyn to the highest court in the land. An
icon among 1970s-era Feminists and “woke” Millennials alike, and an
enemy to many on the political Right, the Justice Ginsburg that emerges
in RBG is unexpectedly gentle and soft-spoken—given the fame
(or infamy) of her scathing minority opinions. “The Notorious RBG,” as
she has been dubbed by her younger fans, was both a fierce advocate for
workplace equality and women’s rights, and a close friend to her fellow
opera-loving Supreme Court justice, Antonin Scalia. Justice Ginsburg was
also a very devoted wife for many years, finding extraordinary personal
and professional support in her doting attorney husband, Martin
Ginsburg. Making great use of archival documentary footage and
interviews with everyone from Gloria Steinem to Orrin Hatch, RBG provides a robust and funny portrait of the still-vigorous Ginsburg as she approaches a quarter century on the court.
