At the age of 84, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior's rise to the nation's highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. RBG is a revelatory documentary exploring Ginsburg 's exceptional life and career from Betsy West and Julie Cohen, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films.

I believe this is the best and most important film that has been made in the past 100 years. It deserves wide circulation, so that it is available to anyone who wishes to see it. This is an extraordinary documentary. It is the voice of the American people.

Very inspired by RBG’s brilliance, tenacity and exercise regimen! So glad this doc humanizes her. I’m also happy that she is a role model to so many young people.
Atlanta Member

Fantastic outline of a great leader in America. How wonderful to celebrate a smart woman as the influencer and inspiration that she is.

Atlanta Member

The film gave new reasons to admire her intellect and resolve. May she live forever, and set an example for those who value hard work and subtlety of thought over time in the service of justice. An antidode I needed in these times when the opposite is so often on display.

Atlanta Member

I can’t express how great it is to see an elderly woman recognized as the quiet yet badass force that she is. The relationship with her husband was beautifully portrayed—I hope that many young men will see him as a role model.
Atlanta Member

So disciplined and judicious in its approach! As well plotted as a fiction. I don’t know why I was in tears over the Virginia Military Institute decision (when I might have imagined the opposing point of view). But it’s not just RBG’s story (there are plenty of clunky, well-meaning documentaries), this was well told.

Fabulous documentary! As a woman, I feel so lucky to have lived in this beautiful woman's lifetime. This film should be required viewing in every middle school and high school. What an inspiration she is to so many. She deserves a superhero cape! And how wonderful she's a real person, not a fantasy character.
St. Louis Member

As a former lawyer, I already had so much respect for her. This movie nailed it. I will definitely bring my wife and our sons to see this.
St. Louis Member

Wow!! Great, easy to watch documentary that was informational, inspiring and told with humor and compassion. Hard to believe that I did not know all the important work RBG has done.
St. Louis Member

I was on the verge of tears much of the film. Remembrances of the times, subtle and pervasive discrimination colored my life and all women's lives. RGB is an inspiration: able to form and maintain a warm and loving family live while pursuing an intense, competitveand demanding professional life. What an intellect.
St. Louis Member

Jung's theory of individuals who appear in history impacting humanity comes brilliantly alive in RGB. The justice is truly a bright star in the historical continuum of womankind.
St. Louis Member

Outstanding biography. Just the right blend of history, nostalgia, humorous, even poignancy. A memorable memoir. Children--both boys and girls--would benefit from seeing this film. She's an inspiration! A foremost change agent and jurist of our time.
St. Louis Member

Her high school and mine were several blocks apart. My mother taught at Madison, her school. We're the same age and experienced many of the same issue. I cried, I laughed. So happy we ended the season with RBG.

Milwaukee Member

This is such an inspirational movie, many people have a debt of gratitude to RBG, but have not known much about her. The documentary remedies this.
Milwaukee Member

I LOVED this documentary. Not just the great subject, but the filmmakers found ways to draw you in and to emphasize the work that RBG has done.
Milwaukee Member

Inspiring. Necessary for our times.

Please God (And I mean you RBG) don't retire.
San Francisco Member

Words cannot do 'justice' in describing how injustices of the '50s and '60s, etc have been addressed by the Supreme Court.She's a real life superhero!

"I'm ordering my Notorious RBG shirt as soon as I get home! What a woman!"
Greater New Haven Member

"Shows great insight into Justice Ginsburg's life not only through her decision on the SC but also her personal, more private persona. Should be shown in all high schools and colleges through the US."

We need more women-centric movies. It was nice to see other leading women like Diane Warren and Jennifer Hudson contribute to this film. It also shows how important finding a good life partner is.
Washington, DC Member

Wow! Such a force of nature in such a tiny body. I learned a lot.
Washington, DC Member

Very moving portrayal. Especially interesting since many of us, including me, have lived through this era and some of the discriminations shown. I never realized her key role in women’s and minorities rights and equal protections under the law.
Washington, DC Member

What an uplifting, inspiring movie! I was happily in tears during much of it and was glad to learn more about RBG and her remarkable, extraordinary life.
Washington, DC Member

Great Editing!
Washington, DC Member

An astonishing portrait of as remarkable a woman as America has ever produced. It is a tribute to the filmmakers that, in Justice Ginsburg’s spirit, the documentary was produced totally without the vitriol that dominates today!
Washington, DC Member

Best movie of the season!
Washington, DC Member

I don’t recommend this film. Rather, it should be mandatory for everyone!
Washington, DC Member

Wow! Best documentary I’ve seen in years. Maybe ever!
Washington, DC Member

This film should be shown to ALL students in grade school and repeated in high school until we get just how important this woman has been to the development of U.S. society. And now we must NOT let her work crumble. Let's not take any of her work for granted. We must continue this fight.
Washington, DC Member

I am seriously in love with Ruth and Marty. An incredible true story of love, courage, steadfast loyalty to each other and to beliefs. Inspiring, uplifting, it restored my faith in humanity. You should have provided Kleenex - that would have been a nice touch.
Washington, DC Member

This well-crafted story masterfully interweaves the past and current life of RBG to effectively document her life force, career and family. It shows, by example, that a woman can do anything a man can - and sometimes better.
