Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by William James S — 28 Sep 2017

Very entertaining movie based on fact, it's the story of three Afro-American woman who worked as math experts for NASA starting in the early sixties during JFK's race for space campaign. It's very well acted (especially Kevin Costner, who gives one of his better performances in some time).

The film explores a piece of history that many of us didn't even know about. It's shot in a bright, cheery style, even though it deals with some heavy handed issues of race and sexism, I also enjoyed the music a lot, which is courtesy of Hans Zimmer and Pharrell Williams amongst other.

The only thing I didn't like, and which has nothing to do with the film making persei, is that, even after all these years, the social stigma around sex and race still exists, especially in the current sociopolitical climate of the United States of Amerca.
