Premiered at Sundance this year, we had the benefit of getting to watch on CNN tonight, albeit with commercials.
The documentary story of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has become an icon for her feminism, her liberal dissents, and generally a longtime defender of equal protection. Who can really argue with that?
Interesting story about her early life, her longtime marriage to Martin Ginsburg, her appointment to the Federal Judiciary by President Carter as his desire to make the courts more inclusive. He did succeed at that. Hard to believe she has been on the US Supreme Court for 25 years.
Of course I enjoyed the part of the court fight involving Virginia Military Institute. We just took that same sex school for granted back then. But not Notorious RBG.
Sundance should grade harder. I'll call this * * * * of 5
