This is Mimi Leder‘s first feature film since 2009. It’s great to have her back, but something’s wrong that we had to wait almost 10 years for it. In any event, she was at CinemaCon alongside star Felicity Jones who plays none other than Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the Supreme Court Justice’s life story (and, yes, she visited the set but it appears she didn’t want that to get out). The good news is Jones is very good as the progressive icon as she battles discrimination in college and as a lawyer (with Armie Hammer on hand as her very supportive husband). The bad news is it all came across more like a TV movie than a theatrical one (and not even an HBO one). This was mostly because the cinematography was flat and uninspired (my kingdom for someone for Focus to have someone do a deep dive color timing this) and it ended with a courtroom scene that pretty much looked like that courtroom set you’ve seen on every TV procedural. Perhaps the final version will tell a different tale, but at the moment? Let’s just say that beyond Jones’ portrayal we’re concerned.
