RBG (2018)

Jack and I and a sold-out preview audience loved this documentary about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, appointed to the US Supreme Court at age 60 by Bill Clinton in 1993. With cameo appearances by many (only Gloria Steinem and Nina Totenberg are credited), lots of vintage photos and home movies, and a thoroughly modern sensibility, this movie celebrates a champion of equal rights for women in a most entertaining way.

Julie Cohen, producer/co-director of four previous feature documentaries (one of which included Ginsburg), teams up with co-director Betsy West, the latter making her directing debut after producing several documentary projects.

We agree with Rotten Tomatoes' critics, averaging 97%, more than its audiences at 79.
