Chris B @Papa13070 1d On the Basis of Sex is another classic biopic movie. It tells the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the injustices at the time prevalent in law against genders. I found the characters to be quite likeable and there was good tension in the story. Weirdly there is hardly any soundtrack in the movie which does at times leave it feeling a bit dull. But it has a great finish that makes it worth it. I'm not sure how accurate they were able to stay to the original story but its a good watch regardless.

The runtime felt a little daunting at first, and Felicity Jones wasn’t an actress I had previously connected with. But by the end, On the Basis of Sex completely won me over in every way. This film goes beyond just telling a biographical story—it educates, inspires, and captivates. It brings history to life in a way that’s engaging and cinematic without ever feeling like a dry lecture. It’s a rare balance to strike, and the film absolutely succeeds. Felicity Jones is phenomenal. Her portrayal of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is layered, powerful, and deeply human. She gives one of the strongest performances of her career, commanding the screen with grace, vulnerability, and strength. By the film’s end, she not only honors a historical icon—she becomes one herself in the eyes of the audience. The direction is sharp and purposeful, the pacing is smart, and the editing and sound design subtly elevate every emotional moment. This is one of those rare films that both entertains and enlightens, offering a deeper understanding of the legal battles women have faced and the pioneers who fought for equality. On the Basis of Sex is a masterclass in how to tell a historical story with heart and cinematic skill. Highly recommended. See more Read all reviews
