_On the Basis of Sex_ pleads its case well, with strong representation and solid arguments in its favour, to whit the venue of the early 1970s and the relevance of its subject.

While I might object to the dramatisation of the proceedings and the Hollywood grandstanding that imbues the film, when all is said and done I find the movie a guilty pleasure about a person whom I admire. A'recommend' from me.

A well-acted movie detailing the beginning of the career of a truly formidable woman. Felicity Jones does a great job. You can feel the passion she... Ginsburg has for what's right. Armie Hammer, as her husband, plays a supportive and brilliant man in his own right. Truly a rewarding watch. Highly recommended.

The movie itself did not move me. But at the end, when I realized she died recently i cried. Such an important person is gone. I’m not from the us so I only heard if her in the last few years in media.

A great movie (biopic) about how a women changes the US judiciary system and fought for the rights of the women. A movie to watch for getting motivation to become a lawyer.

A conventional biopic for an unconventional woman. The film has the courage of its protagonist, Ruth Ginsburg, of her facet as a civil rights advocate, of her personality. It can be said that only Felicity Jones's hard-working performance lives up to the character. But it serves as a tribute to the judge, as a prologue to the most accurate portrait made in the documentary "RBG" (Julie Cohen, Betsy West, 2018).

An amazing woman, but an amazing film? No, not really - it's a little dry and dull, the dialogue is Hollywood cliched - but while it falls into the traps of many a biopic, it's still worth seeing, if only to gain a sense of Ginsburg's place in our history books.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: These are laws written by men who think we are privileged to be excused from men’s obligations. But it is not a privilege, it is a cage, and these laws are the bars.
Amazing movie, amazing woman.

I was surprised that Alibaba funded it, otherwise it is well interpreted and well done, I like this kind of stories where big law firms / government people believe that they will win by assisting and lose

Well yet another biopic... I don’t really watch these expecting a great movie, but simply to learn more about the person in question and this does the job! Felicity is good as always, and of course, RBG is a force of nature.

I don’t think that the movie, nor even the actors, were particularly inspiring but that takes nothing away from Ruth Badger Ginsburg as a revolutionary, a woman to be revered and emulated for centuries to come.
