Critics consensus

“On the Basis of Sex is nowhere near as groundbreaking as its real-life subject, but her extraordinary life makes a solid case for itself as an inspirational, well-acted biopic.”

Jones is required to repeatedly hold the screen in close-up while bashing out on-the-nose dialogue.

On the Basis of Sex stands, additionally and crucially, as a testament to the power and importance of the legal world's unseen corners.

Ben Sachs

RTChicago ReaderFeb 21, 2020

The tight focus makes for an engaging, fast-moving legal drama; as with Spielberg at both his best and worst, this is seldom boring.

The biopic-wary should applaud On the Basis of Sex for its avoidance of the temptation to cover a longer chronology of Bader Ginsburg’s life and career.
