Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Shireen Hakim R — 18 Jul 2017

In a time when Oscar films are renowned for being dull and tedious, Hidden Figures radiates charm and is quite possibly this year's best motion picture. Centered around an impactful story and supported by fantastic performances, it's no surprise the film inspires as much as it entertains.

Never have I enjoyed watching a biographical drama as much as I did watching Hidden Figures and the reason for that is the lively, funny, and empowering qualities that aren't meant to bait Academy Award nominations, but to actually be experienced and loved.

A day may come when the Academy will grant blockbuster films a chance at winning awards and this film is definitely a great start.
