Poster Rating: B- / C

Review: (#1) It’s not the most visually daring design, but the decision to make her a giant against the backdrop of the Supreme Court is a nice touch.
(#2) It’s Felicity Jones. How this will draw audiences to the theater, I’m not certain as there’s nothing particularly compelling in the design.
Trailer Rating: B / B / B+

Review: (#1) Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of the most important justices ever installed on the Supreme Court. Her life story would make a fascinating movie. Perhaps this will be the one, but the trailer isn’t great. It’s good, but it could be so much better.
(#2) The same bland competence of the first trailer evinces itself in this second trailer that continues to position the narrative as a significant one without feeling enticing as a result.
(#3) The producers are trying to throw everything at the wall to see what will stick in hopes of drawing viewers to the theater. This trailer, although a bit brisk, is slightly better than the prior two at making such a case, but only slightly.
Oscar Prospects:
There may be a push to give the film some Oscar consideration, but will the film be good enough for it?
