Leave your thoughts about On the Basis of Sex.
| New England Movies WeeklyDaniel M. KimmelJones, seeming to realize that she is depicting an American icon, portrays her with dignity but not as a clay idol. |
| Original CinKim HughesLet’s just say the film — scripted by Bader’s nephew Daniel Stiepelman with the Justice’s blessing — successfully splits the difference between capturing Ginsburg as a contemporary folk hero and as a fiercely ambitious intellectual competing for footing in an era when mixing a killer martini was the very height of wifely prestige. No one will mistake it for a documentary. |
| Film ThreatTiffany TchobanianOn the Basis of Sex is the kind of invigorating and hopeful film that we desperately need during these trying and frustrating times. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanOn the Basis of Sex is--at best--a conventional biopic that condenses a long period of time into a two hour film. |
| Bust MagazineLydia WangA lush, emotional celebration of one of the greatest trailblazers of our time. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA serious movie that slowly earns its emotion and enlists our involvement. Even before the finish, it’s goosebumps all around. |
| Battleship PretensionDavid BaxLots and lots of us love Ginsburg and we didn't need two different puff pieces about her this year to make us feel good about that. |
| Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)Pamela PowellA standout film with exceptional performances to re-create a time in history that determined the future of women not only today, but tomorrow as well. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordLeder returns to the big screen with an effort that feels intended for the small screen. While it tells a great story..."On the Basis of Sex" feels like a Lifetime movie. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Elinor JonesGinsburg is framed in the same manner as Hawking was-with a plucky, wide-eyed enthusiasm that makes everyone else in the movie smirk at her, until they are won over by the sheer force of her brilliance. In other words, it's patronizing. |
