Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 84 years old and, as she remarks in the inspiring new trailer for RBG, "everyone wants to take a picture with me." One of the most talked about films at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, RBG seeks to honor Ginsburg's groundbreaking career and her 25 years on the Supreme Court. It is "a rare peek behind the curtain" at the life of "the Thurgood Marshall of Women's Rights" — pushups, internet memes, and all.
In its review of the film, Indiewire calls RBG a "fist-pumping, crowd-pleasing documentary that makes one heck of a play to remind people of Ginsburg's vitality and importance, now more than ever." Watch the trailer below, and RBG in theaters May 4. Jeva Lange
