This evening was the second time my wife and I watched "Hidden Figures" and loved it both times. It was terrific and really did earn a 5 star rating.

Very inspiring movie! Love that it’s a true story!! Not woke or preachy but instead gives us a heart-warming tale of courage and perseverance with a few comedic moments thrown in there too! Great acting (Taraji P. Henson’s monologue🤩🤩)…

The great sets and solid acting are enough to carry this adaptation through to the end.

In Hollywood, "based on a true story" means making up stuff just to get a rise out of the audience. If you prefer ACTUAL history, skip this movie and READ THE BOOK (same name), which is FAR better. (See my review of the book for some…

A good jumping off point for discovering a part of the American space program that nobody ever talked about.

BRILLIANT! Tense and moving. I love movies based on the truth. This one was no exception but it was extra special because of women making history. Hilarious, serious, fun, and intelligent. Great actors. The challenge of being a woman in a…

One weakness of the film was the purification of white aerospace worker treatment towards the rare black workers allowed. I worked for one of the major aerospace firms in both the north and the south. I don't remember seeing any black…

This bio-pic is a restrained presentation of the "equal but separate" status of Blacks in the United States against the backdrop of the Space Race of the early 1960s. This movie is at best a summary of the lives of the Black female…

VERY GOOD 2016 film set in the era of beginning of US space flight adventures - and excellent bio-pic of American black women whose contributions to math plus behind the flights I had not been previously aware of.

A enlightening movie about the women involved, behind the scenes, in the Space Program in the 1960s. Their personal and professional lives during the Civil Rights Movement is beautifully depicted. It is powerful and memorable.

Recommended by a friend just about the time of Kathrine Jackson's death. Amazing film: the 2 hours went by swiftly. Good story, well-told and well-acted. I'm looking forward to reading the book!!

10* review from me. When it was in the local theatres the effect on me was controlled up to a point. Watching it at home a few years later....no control. In a fit of anger, up and left the room and so thankful I never had to face this…
