AFI Fest 2018: 'On the Basis of Sex' Review


On the Basis of Sex, a drama about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, premiered last night at AFI Fest. I saw it early, which I mention because I imagine that the audience last night was extra-emotional about the subject matter due to Ginsburg's recent fall. My view is that the movie is very well-meaning and sufficiently well-acted to overcome how basic its storytelling is. My review is up at Screen International.
