I knew very little of Ruth Bader-Ginsberg going into this movie and I know some seem to say this film builds up her "legendary" status more than tells the truth and I don't know if that's true or not but I know as a film it was incredibly entertaining, fascinating and powerful. I'm amazed the film didn't get more traction because it is incredibly well acted, well directed, moves at a very good pace and is actually very mainstream in it's delivery. Felicity Jones is absolutely electric as Ginsberg. She commands the screen fiercely and I've always been a fan of hers and this is why because she sinks herself into a role and embodies the character so well. Armie Hammer is also very good as her supportive and brilliant husband. Justin Theroux and Cailee Spaeny (a brilliant young actress gives a terrific scene stealing performance as Ginsberg's daughter) Both of them are terrific in their supporting roles. The film for me was spellbinding, it completely drew me in and I think there is nothing wrong with making a real life person a little bit heroic. The film expertly weaves together the struggle women have gone through for equality and the stand Ginsberg took in many different areas of her life but not only that it shows the people that inspired her both good and bad and those who supported her through her life. To me this was as an Oscar worthy film and easily one of the best movies of 2018. I encourage you to check this out and enjoy it without any predisposed notion about how factual it is or isn't. It's a film that tells a story based on real events. 9/10.

On the Basis of Sex is Mimi Leder's earnest but standard biopic of Ruth Bader Ginsburg starring Felicity Jones as the iconic Supreme Court jurist. The difficulty in crafting such an enterprise is of course avoiding hagiography, which unfortunately is what On the Basis of Sex kind of turns out to be.

Leder avoids Ginsburg's tenure as the present day Supreme Court justice and focuses on her early career as a student at Harvard Law school and later as a Rutgers professor leading the fight in an important tax case linked to the issue of sex discrimination.

The first quarter of the film deals with Ginsburg having to cope with her husband Marvin's diagnosis of testicular cancer while they're both students at Harvard Law. While he's laid up, Ginsburg takes his classes for him (as well as her own. While her efforts to help her husband were certainly noble, there isn't much conflict at this point in the narrative. Only Sam Waterston as the law school dean, and his pushing back on Ginsburg's request to finish her degree at Columbia, provides some dramatic relief.

The bulk of the film deals with the case of Moritz vs. Commissioner, the 1970 tax case in which Moritz was denied a tax deduction after hiring a nurse to care for his disabled mother. At that time, the tax code only allowed for a deduction for "a woman, a widower or divorcée, or a husband whose wife is incapacitated or institutionalized. So ironically, Ginsburg ended up championing a man who was the victim of sex discrimination in this particular (and rather anomalous) case.

Perhaps the best character in the film is Mel Wulff (Justin Theroux) the ACLU attorney whom Ginsburg is referred to by noted civil rights activist Dorothy Kenyon (Kathy Bates. Theroux does a fine job conveying the character's folksy qualities. In contrast, Jones as Ginsburg gives a virtual generic performance. Perhaps it's also screenwriter Daniel Stiepleman fault, as Ginsburg's idiosyncrecies are not at all evident. Only Ginsburg's conflict with a rebellious daughter is trotted out to flesh out her character.

Things pick up a bit toward the climax when Ginsburg loses her cool during a practice moot court and it's decided that her husband will be first chair during the final Court of Appeals hearing. Jones has her best moment when she offers up a stirring summation which leads the court to strike down the antiquated laws that kept the shibboleth of sex discrimination in place for so many years.

On the Basis of Sex provides some information about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her early career that is certainly informative. But what makes Ginsburg different from other civil rights pioneers who have gone up against the establishment and won? I don't see this film answering that question. Perhaps focusing upon the later unlikely friendship between Ginsburg and the right-wing conservative Supreme Justice Scalia, would have proven more interesting.
