Fights Sexism in an Uninteresting Context
29 November 2021
This is another movie capturing of history that stands and battles against gender discrimination, but it's captured with a very weak system. Anyway, On the Basis of Sex: here come some inspirational role models that tackle sexism and fight for gender equality! It's a well-acted and finely designed portrayal of the true story, despite that it's nowhere near as brilliant in the documentary, RBG.

The performances are as astonishing as they are required to be in social issue dramas and it's pretty engaging. However, there's a huge let down throughout the film. The fact that it's reasonably engaging, but isn't really that interesting or compelling really sends its strength to ruins.

On the Basis of Sex is easily likeable. The issues and topics are covered in a fair context. But the history and the plot is all captured so poorly. It even extends to the point where audiences will likely be drifting off as they try to remain focused on the deeply slow, occasionally boring execution. The brilliant acting deserves a much better depiction, but most of all, the amazing Ruth Bader Ginsburg deserves a much better portrayal of her actions.
