Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Hassan I — 26 Apr 2017

Inspiring, heartwarming and educational, "Hidden Figures" is a wonderful film that celebrates the lives of women who changed history. The historical drama sheds light on the struggles faced by African-Americans during the 1960's.

Through powerful performances from it's three leads, sharp writing and believable situations, the film captures a divisive time in American history. In terms of acting, all three actresses are a joy to watch.

Taraji P. Henson is a particular standout, conveying the struggles faced by African-American women during the time. Although these actresses are a joy to watch, "Hidden Figures" is a little longer than necessary.

Despite it's long running time, "Hidden Figures" is a crowd-pleasing film that sheds light on an important time in history. It is one of those rare films that teaches us to be open-minded and accepting of each other, regardless of color or race.
