I give ON THE BASIS OF SEX a rating of MUST SEE ON THE BIG SCREEN! Felicity Jones’s definitely “Brought It” for this performance, as she is flawless, sharing Bader Ginsburg’s life on the big screen…Whether she is fighting through the trails and pitfalls of being a woman at Harvard Law School in the late 50’s, or working as a Law Professor in the 70’s, helping her students gain perspective of their Civil Rights, or she is taking on a case to fight for equal rights for everyone within this country – Male or Female – all the way to the Supreme Court, Bader Ginsburg forged a path, with a style, and grace, all her own. Armie Hammer is as adorable as ever as well, playing not only the supportive husband, and exceptional lawyer, but also as the doting father to their two children, every step of the way. And it was exciting too to get to see Theroux, Waterson, Bates and Root round out the incredible cast of this film, as even when you don’t like the positions they are taking against our heroine, you still marvel at their picture-perfect performances! Add in the exceptional performance too from Cailee Spaeny, as Bader Ginsburg’s daughter Jane, and you end up with a biographical journey of one woman’s life, that will absolutely entertain you from its first frame to its last…
