Ginsburg has to put up with condescension by male law professors and is rejected by New York City firms. Finally, she makes a name for herself with a landmark gender-discrimination case involving a man denied a tax credit he would have been entitled to as a woman.

At the heart of #OnTheBasisOfSex is a love story for the ages. Now playing in theaters.

Ginsburg is too decent a person to gloat over the obvious irony. A light, smoothly admiring biopic that could have used some of the cut-and-thrust of a good legal drama – it’s The Marvelous Mrs Maisel Before the Bench. Still, it’s informative, and that counts. (Out now) 3.5 stars
