Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Anthony K — 04 Nov 2018

Ugh, I can't really watch movies like this anymore. Yes, everything about it is somewhat noble, in terms of shining a light on a group of intersectional women working in a system that does all it can to slow them down.

But every other element is just so crassly commercial - the PAINFULLY obvious dialogue and musical cues, the supporting cast (Sheldon from Big Bang Theory -- really??) and just the general, forced sentimentality.

I was rolling my eyes for probably 10 full minutes of the running time, and after a while it legitimately just felt BAD.
