ON THE BASIS OF SEX

ON THE BASIS OF SEX: This is the true story of the early career and court cases of Ruth Bader Ginsburg played with much insight and panache by Felicity Jones (with not even a hint of her British accent).  Armie Hammer portrays her husband, Martin with Justin Theroux, Kathy Bates and Sam Waterston in supporting roles. At first I was afraid there would be too much "legalese" in the screenplay (written by Ms. Ginsburg real-life nephew) but it is quite easy to follow and becomes fascinating to watch the unfolding of the major case involved.  It's hard to believe out far we're come (due in part to both of the Ginsburgs) and I gained a new respect for the woman as well as the jurist.  This bio pic should be required viewing for anyone interested in law and how it has shaped our country.   A splendid movie that I highly recommend.
