Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Patricia W — 30 Sep 2017
To watch a film based on real events about 3 black women excelling in mathematics and science at NASA is a rare treat. These women, that I'm sure most of us have never heard of before, have to overcome a lot of obstacles in order to achieve the goal of getting someone into space.
Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae are all excellent in this film and have great chemistry together and Jim Parsons and Kirsten Dunst are great as the main antagonists of the film. The film also has a nice balance in tone with some humorous moments and some more serious moments but the romantic subplot of the film is a little flat and those scenes are some of the weakest in the film.
Overall it's an enjoyable film with an inspiring message and would recommend watching it.
