About this movie

Inspired by the powerful true story of a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Academy Award®-nominee Felicity Jones), On the Basis of Sex depicts a then-struggling attorney and new mother facing adversity in her fight for equal rights. When Ruth takes on a ground-breaking case, she knows the outcome could alter the courts' view of gender discrimination. Stronger together, Ruth teams up with her husband, Martin Ginsburg (Armie Hammer), to fight the case that catapults her into one of the most important public figures of our time.

When I saw the commercials, it looked like it'd be a very interesting and inspiring story but it kinda just fell flat. They build up to the climax and then it just ends?... Like I understand that real court cases are super boring and often lacking much emotion or at least flair from the lawyers but its cinema. Give us something a little more charged.

This movie celebrates the life of a monster. Ruth Ginsberg is a deeply evil and vile woman that future history books will characterize as the caustic perverter of a once moral society. She and all Leftist parasites are on the wrong side of history! Plus she was not hot when she was young. This movie is pure lies.

yet another unnecessary, back-patting circle jerk about the "struggles" of rich and powerful women. This strange fanatical obsession with "RBG" that the left has is truly a bane for our judicial system.
