On the Basis of Sex (2018)

From IMDB:

The true story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, her struggles for equal rights, and the early cases of a historic career that lead to her nomination and confirmation as U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice.

Are you interested in a truly inspirational film?  Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a heroine for our Trump-troubled times.  “True Grit” characterizes  not only her portrayal in the film, but even today as she refuses to give in to such trifling problems as cancer.

Felicity Jones was a perfect choice for the lead role. Nor did it hurt to have Armie Hammer play her devoted husband. In the follow-up notes at the end of the film we learn that Ruth and Martin were married for 56 years.

Imagine Sam Waterston playing a villain, namely, Erwin Griswold. Kathy Bates is just right as crusty Dorothy Kenyon. Justin Theroux as Mel Wulf inspired me to make a contribution to the ACLU.

Let us hope that Ruth Bader Ginsburg outlasts Donald Trump.
