On The Basis Of Sex (12A)

Drama

Drama, based on a true story, concerning US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg's fight for gender equality.


The critical consensus

It’s not a hugely innovative biopic, covering just a short period of Bader Ginsburg’s extraordinary career, but this is still a vastly inspiring account of the fight for equality.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the subject of an inspiring and romantic biopic.

***(*)(*)Angie Errigo, The List, 18/02/2019

A paint-by-numbers portrait of an American icon.

Hannah Woodhead, Little White Lies, 20/02/2019

Felicity Jones plays the real-life US supreme court justice in a watchable drama about her personal struggle against injustice and prejudice.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 20/02/2019

Director Mimi Leder’s achievement is to have made such a rousing drama from a dry storyline.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 21/02/2019

The film never quite feels like a movie entirely worthy of its subject.
