_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.

When did you last go to a movie in which the audience applauded as the credits rolled? (It is not a typical Canadian response.) Behind me, a young female law student was weeping. As I sat there, I was deeply and intellectually moved by the power of this woman's life and the subsequent effect More

Well, it's so inaccurate that you can tell from the start that it is going for statement over biopic.

And it almost seems like it should be titled "The Unstoppable RBG" as she comes across as right all the time, faultless, stronger, smarter and more capable than anyone to the point where she can More

A great opportunity to assess the remarkable achievements of Ruth Bader Ginsberg - but one that misses more than it hits. Felicity Jones and Armie Hammer just don't have the gravitas to pull this off - they deliver none of the feistiness, grit and determination that must have featured substantially More
