On the Basis of Sex

A great opportunity to assess the remarkable achievements of Ruth Bader Ginsberg - but one that misses more than it hits. Felicity Jones and Armie Hammer just don't have the gravitas to pull this off - they deliver none of the feistiness, grit and determination that must have featured substantially in her struggle for equality and success within her profession. It isn't anywhere near as bad as a traditional TV movie, but it blurs the lines between autobiography and fiction in a way that serves to diminish the overall story and that's a real shame. I'd have loved to see Katharine Hepburn play her!
