Saw this with a group of about 30 friends this morning at the Denver Chez Artiste (and the theater was packed). GREAT movie! This is a perfect complement to the movie RBG from earlier this year. They took a few artistic liberties (see https://slate.com/culture/2018/12/on-the-basis-of-sex-accuracy-rbg-biopic-fact-fiction.html for a fact check), but got most of the facts right and the overall picture of her perfect.

Highly recommended!

Saw this yesterday at the Angelika in Merrifield,VA.
It was amusing and a little too chick flick Hallmark movie for me, but still worthwhile.
Felicity Jones never nails the accent, and probably shouldn't have tried as the occasional word in Brooklynese (or whatever borough) is distracting.
Enjoyed the Mel Wulf character if only to show ACLU aren't saints. Assholes For Justice would apply to many of them (I've known many of them and I think they're great).
For some reason the film was shown in what appeared go be 1:66. Looked fine, but is it really 1:66? IMDB says 1:85 but they've been known to be wrong.

I assume since this is going limited on Christmas that I won't end up seeing it until next year at some point when it widens. But I expect to go to it whenever that should happen. It looks fairly standard in structure from the trailer, but Felicity Jones is so good, and it's quite a supporting cast as well.
