Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an unquestionably inspiring figure. She's the second woman to ever sit on the U.S. Supreme Court, a lifelong crusader for women's rights, and the reason that we in America have laws protecting the right to live and work without discrimination based on your gender. In Mimi Leder's film she's presented as just that. However, despite the movie showcasing her brilliance and tenacity, at times it's sanitized and schmaltzy, which takes away from the overall impact of the story.
The time-hopping narrative follows Felicity Jones' Ginsburg from her first day at Harvard Law until the groundbreaking case Moritz vs. The Commissioner, which defined her career and changed America forever. Jones is a charming lead, though both her and her co-star Armie Hammer--as Ginsburg's husband Martin--look so clean cut and handsome it's almost disarming, as they look more like models in a catalog than a pair of law students.
