A personality-based crowd-pleaser

As a work of documentary film-making, Ask Dr Ruth does not rewrite the rulebook, and yet it is still a stirring portrait of courage in the face of adversity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2021

Come to think of it, Ask Dr. Ruth isn't really a portrait or a deep dive of her legacy. It's two solid movies smushed together.

As a film, Ask Dr. Ruth is a delight.

Watching diminutive sex therapist and media mega-star Dr Ruth Westheimer resist the valiant attempts by her daughters to admit she is a feminist is just one of the joys in this very entertaining insight into her remarkable life.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2019

She is good at deflecting those who want to pry and that's a problem for the film. If we're going to go 100 minutes with this remarkable old lady, a little depth is pretty much required.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 4, 2019

Ask Dr. Ruth is instantly and continuously charming which is all down to Westheimer herself. A documentary that, above all, is an ode to this inspiring woman, a trailblazer and an activist who deserves this recognition.
