Watched this for the first time when it came to Netflix recently. Felicity Jones was amazing as RBG!

Great to learn about the life of RBG. Every woman should see this movie and learn what she has done for our gender.

Boring movie - got up and left half way through it

A wonderful portrait of a true America (s)hero! A chapter of history that everyone should be taught.

Well told story. Realistic portrayal of the times, especially on how society viewed what the role of women should be in the academic, social, and business world. The movie effectively reflects RGG's transition from a supportive wife to a capable, self confident lawyer and jurist of extraordinary intelligence in the face of obstacles from many sources. Th factual portrayal is understated leading to a climax that is dramatically explosive as she fully asserts herself . The epilogue depicts her many accomplishments.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well acted. The script was well written. The choice of actors was superb and plausible. Unfortunately, I'm not sure the action adventure crowd will go for it. No explosions or wise cracks just a well told true story. Bravo!

As far as movies go, it is well made with few if any flaws. This is unfortunate, because future generation will judge RBG by this movie. She is no heroine and does not deserve this kind of acclaim.

Outstanding, best movie of 2019. The only people who would not like this movie are the uneducated people who still support pathological liar Trump first, Russia second and the USA last

Watch the CNN documentary on Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She accomplished more than so many in her lifetime.

The guy who wrote that Ruth is no hero should get a reality check on life. He is ignorant beyond words. What she has done for women has been absolutely amazing. I guess it depends on how much a person respects women
