Movie #1542 "RBG" -- I'm not a huge fan of documentaries, because they tend to all depend on one way to get across information (like interviews), and they tend to go long, but this one is a winner. It uses a variety of ways to get across a lot of information on our supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and it covers a lot of parts of her life --- her family, her education, her work on the court and previously to it, and her fans (thus, the nickname RBG). I especially found it amusing how serious she is in most things, but that her husband was such a cut up --- that's probably why that worked so well. You learn a lot of information, little tidbits of her daily life (like she hardly sleeps, and that she has battled with pancreatic cancer, that she was good friends with Scalia, and a lot more). I honestly didn't notice the time flying by, and I highly recommend this documentary --- it just takes a few minutes to get into it --- could have a better opening! otherwise, I give it 4 stars out of 5. It might help that I was a big fan of hers before seeing the film?
