From “Superhero Ruth Bader Ginsburg fights for justice for all in smart doc” at goodtimes.sc/…
Forget The Avengers Infinity War. Here’s a movie that’s really worth cheering about, entering the marketplace with the same quiet, unassuming, yet determined demeanor as its subject—legendary Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As cunning as Loki, as grounded as Black Panther, she wields her opinion with the impact and precision of Thor’s hammer, and achieves actual change, fighting for gender equality under the law as she has for five decades of groundbaking decisions. And nary a special effect in sight—unless you count her incredible stamina to keep fighting the good fight at age 84.
From “RBG is a fierce, funny tribute to the trailblazing justice: EW review” at ew.com/…
RBG is an unapologetic valentine to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but a sharp and spiky one too — a celebration of the scrunchie-wearing octogenarian not just as a pop-culture folk hero and millennial meme but as a wife, a warrior, and a true iconoclast, famed for her fierce legal mind and the cutting wit of her dissenting opinions.
