In the popular culture, most Supreme Court Justices fade into obscurity. Historians will note important figures, but few Justices fail to penetrate the social consciousness. Associate JusticeRuth Bader Ginsburghas managed to leave her mark on American history in more ways than one, andBetsy West&Julie Cohen’s documentaryRBGserves as a loving tribute to her life and career. Although the film can be a bit much when its showing Ginsburg’s popularity among millennials and her place in pop culture, it’s far more effective when it shows how Ginsburg’s feminism and legal mind reshaped our country for the better....
