Movies I watched this week

My opinions on three movies from the week

On the Basis of Sex

A great showing from Felicity Jones. I’ll always remember how she saved Rogue One single-handedly. At the beginning of the week, I was on quite a “strong female lead” kick at the beginning of the week and this movie was a great way to start it. Jones does an amazing job of bringing life to this character. This movie brings something to RBG’s story. It bring the idea of family into the equation.

The director of On the Basis of Sex makes a point of showing how complicated family can be. Mimi Leder, the director of the movie does a good job of bringing up the fact that activist’s families often complicate their views of the world. There is a subplot that reveals a simple kind of awkwardness between RBG’s frustration with men and her love of her husband.

I absolutely recommend On the Basis of Sex for anyone looking for a feel good fight movie.

7.5/10

Ava

Ava is almost a typecast role for Jessica Chastain at this point. She plays a contract killer who fights addiction and bad guys. It is a more simple movie and is a pretty fun watch, but she is always doing movies like this.
