Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Nedryerson1 — 12 Feb 2017

Hidden Figures, as the title suggest; reveals a topic unknown for the audience that enriches the understanding towards to fight of women and colored people for their rights. The story begins with a promise, our gifted protagonist shining during her childhood; that invites the viewer to believe in all the wonders embodied in these three women, which are going to be exposed.

Since then, the level of edification is big enough in order to identify the spectator with the characters and their situations: racial segregation, discrimination, undervaluation, labor exploitation and more.

An interesting thing is the mutualism that develops around the three women, how each other complements the next one, how they support themselves and solve their flaws. None of them could have done it without the other two.

The problem with the movie is that, there is nothing more than that; is just a story, a beautiful one, but there is no much to think about it. Octavia Spencer is charming as always, but Taraji P. Henson is astonishing, the acting surprise of the film.
