I enjoyed it quite a bit as it was equally\u00a0 entertaining and informative. The characters are well crafted and the aesthetic of the 50s to 70s time period really sets the tone of the movie. It feels real and true, as opposed to the glorified version of the story that some biographical films show. The authenticity and uniqueness of the film really helps it stand out. This is a very important movie for people see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This film follows the true story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones),   a young and gifted lawyer, who struggles to find work simply because she is a woman. In order to prove that the law discriminates on the basis of sex, Ms. Ginsburg has to work harder than she ever has before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OTBOS_03329_R.jpg?resize=225%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3666\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OTBOS_03329_R.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OTBOS_03329_R.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption>Felicity Jones stars as Ruth Bader Ginsburg in Mimi Leder&#8217;s ON THE BASIS OF SEX<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\nThe film is very well written with an immaculate attention to detail, thanks to\nthe writer being Ruth Bader Ginsburg\u2019s nephew Daniel Stiepleman, whom I had the\npleasure of interviewing. It is full of heart and truth because Justice\nGinsburg made sure everything was accurately portrayed. She read all of the\ndrafts of the scripts to make sure that her story told well. It is never\nboring! I laughed out loud when it was funny and got angry seeing RBG rejected\nand having doors slammed in her face, due to her gender. <br>\n<br>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acting is really great. Both Armie Hammer, who portrays\nMartin Ginsburg and Cailee Spaeny who portray Jane Ginsburg absolutely blew me\naway. Armie portrays Martin as a man who really loves and respects his wife in\nsuch a heartwarming way. Cailee portrays Jane as a funny and empowered\nfeminist. The relationship between Jane and Ruth is displayed with such honesty\nand realism. My only complaint about the acting might be that Ruth\u2019s accent\ncould have been much stronger. <br>\n<br>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OTBOS_00489_R.jpg?resize=225%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3661\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OTBOS_00489_R.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/OTBOS_00489_R.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption>Felicity Jones stars as Ruth Bader Ginsburg in Mimi Leder&#8217;s ON THE BASIS OF SEX, a Focus Features release.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I rate this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages\n9 to 18, as well as adults. This film tells such a special and unique story,\none that is incredibly important, with equal amounts of heart, humor, turmoil\nand honesty. This triumphant story really gets you thinking. It opens\nnationwide in theaters January hits theatres worldwide on January 11, 2019, so\ndo yourself a favor and go watch it. <br>\n<br>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a struggling attorney and new mother who faces adversity and numerous obstacles in her fight for equal rights.
