don't get the hype.

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2017)

even this great cast couldn't make this film a perfect 10. there were so many aspects of it that were unnecessary, mostly its length. (something a lot of films have suffered from this movie season, to be honest) how many times did we need to see a character go to and from the bathroom to get the point they were segregated? they treated the audience like we were stupid, showing a montage of the same scene over and over. I'm glad to hear of the plight of these behind the scenes women, who were such a contribution to math and finally go their dues, but even that couldn't make this film any better than something like 'fences' (a truly gripping film and the only one this holiday season i didn't keep looking at my watch to see when it was over.)
