Both West and Cohen have managed to do a grand job. A fine love letter to a woman who has had a significant impact on America.

[A] superb biodoc about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg...

| Oct 12, 2021

Even fans of the tiny, fierce intellectual powerhouse that is Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be surprised by this utterly engaging documentary.

| Oct 12, 2021

All of these details add up to present a rich, intelligent portrait of a woman whose impact on America will be felt long after her lace collar is retired.

RBG a hagiography, a puff piece. It's a well put together one but it's still nothing more. Ginsburg is an inspiring figure but this movie is only for the already inspired.

I could tell you here all about the amazing work she did, for men and women, and how she blazed the trail for so many people - but I think you should watch this instead and bask in her glory.

This doc, by filmmakers Julie Cohen and Betsy West, takes a straight-up approach after an opener of a litany of male bluster tagging Ginsburg as an "evil" and "bad" woman, with one such retort from our sitting prez.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 3, 2020

It's sort of bland the way co-directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West conduct this presentation...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 2, 2020

An eye-opener on many fronts -- not least when it comes to the kind of gym workouts the octogenarian cancer-survivor undertook to keep herself fit for work as a US Supreme Court judge.

Some of the finer points of this gently engrossing documentary will be lost on Australian viewers. Nevertheless, the subject herself will win all hearts and minds in seconds flat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2020

There's something missing in RBG and it keeps a good documentary from becoming a great one.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020

[T]he memes, jokes, and impersonations put her in an oversimplified, cushy cage -- one that has a hashtag stretched over it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2020

The filmmakers' justifiable admiration for Ginsburg is clear, perhaps to the detriment of getting inside the mind of its subject rather than merely celebrating it.

| Feb 13, 2020

It's a superhero movie with a twist.

| Nov 22, 2019

For inspiration, you can't beat this film, or its subject.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 17, 2019

Beyond notorious.

| Jun 21, 2019

A super documentary about a modern-day superhero.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 17, 2019

Will doubtlessly be a crowd-pleaser for the justice's legions of fans, but it will also be an illuminating piece of history for those who only know her as the "great dissenter" liberal hero.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 3, 2019

Inspiring and entertaining, RBG is a delightful exploration of the dynamic Supreme Court justice known as the Notorious RBG.

| Apr 24, 2019

RBG fails to offer a warts-and-all approach to its subject, but it's a film that may persuade you to sport a trendy "Notorious RBG" T-shirt and follow her lead.
