On the Basis of Sex

If the law treated the sexes the same than men would be able to cry their way out of speeding tickets.

However, as the solicitor in this drama can attest, the law holds fast to sexist stereotypes.

Unable to find a firm willing to hire her, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones) takes a job teaching a sexual discrimination class. When presented with a case that challenges sexiest tax laws, RBG jumps at the chance to fight for the rights of a single father. Meanwhile, RBG's husband (Armie Hammer) and children provide moral support.

Focusing on a single court case instead of her entire career, this well-acted biopic about the Supreme Court Justice doesn't do the trailblazer any justice. Although mildly inspirational, it's also tedious and borders on movie-of-the-week.

And while the sexes may be equal under the law, it won't stop men from cross-dressing to get a lower bail set. Yellow Light
