More lightweight tribute than detailed biography. Provides a few insights and moving moments but is at its best when we just hear Ginsburg reading from her dissents. Still, any film about a sitting Supreme Court Justice does little more than add to the ill-advised trend of celebritizing these elevated individuals.
