On the Basis of Sex

A historical fiction, biopic of the development of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's career as a lawyer. While the recently viewed documentary RBG is broader in scope and tells more about her development and work on the court, this film details Ginsburg between her first days at Harvard Law School through the first case she argues in front of the 10th district appellate court. While I intellectually know, and have seen lots of portrayals, of how both individuals and systems were actively oppressing women, it is again striking to see it reenacted here.

5 stars (out of 5)
