Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Alice H — 20 Dec 2017

This movie had so much potential to dig deeper into the lives of these women in history. Instead the film took these women at face value and presented complex issues about racism and sexism in a white male dominated workplace in a Disney-esque way.

Sometimes, I felt that the way the film portrayed racism and sexism was so overt and one-dimensional. I do think there are some really great moments within the film, but I am disappointed that the filmmakers failed to tell the story to its full potential.
