By popular demand, we’re bringing the intimate documentary R.B.G. back, this time to our Virtual Screening Room.

“Without a definitive Ginsburg biography of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior’s rise to the nation’s highest court remained largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans — until this 2018 release. RBG scored a 94 on Rotten Tomatoes and won audience awards from nearly all the festivals at which it has played.” – Peter Biskind

“The movie’s touch is light and its spirit buoyant, but there is no mistaking its seriousness or its passion.” — A.O. Scott, The New York Times
“This is more than just the predictable story of who Ginsburg was and who she has become. It’s also a monument to the formal written legal legacy that transcends her own life story and changed a nation.” — Dahlia Lithwick, Slate
“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” — Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly
