Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Ro'ber S — 30 Mar 2017

"Hidden Figures" was a great, uplifting historical film that featured magnificent acting (especially by the main three actresses Taraji P. Henson (who was not nominated for the Oscar; I felt she should have been), Octavia Spencer (who was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar; didn't win), and Janelle Monáe), outstanding direction by Ted Melfi, and a great story of African American women who manage to make their work at NASA become essential for the Space Race.

Nominated for the Best Picture Oscar and Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar (didn't win either), "Hidden Figures" is nevertheless a really great film - sweet, sentimental, and very informing - that many would enjoy again and again!
