Incredible Feel Good Movie even for the mathematically challenged!

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2017)

I must admit I was hesitant to watch this movie because numbers are my biggest weakness! I am a math moron and I was a bit worried that I might miss something in the translation from numbers to feelings. I needn't have worried! What a spectacular film about the triumph of brains in the face of ignorance! All three actresses Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe turn in flawless performances that made me laugh, cry and cheer at the sheer force of will these ladies exhibit. The frustration and hurt were palpable throughout the film and made me want to jump in the screen and teach some manners to several ignoramus' portrayed here! Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, and Jim Parsons round out the cast with stellar performances of their own. I will say, I am appalled and disappointed that before this movie, I had never heard of any of the three brilliant real life women portrayed in this film. That is unacceptable in a world where tiny every day tasks are glorified as life achievements! I hope this film swings wide the door to educate us all on the spectacular contributions that minorities have achieved, in spite of the road blocks they continually face. Incredible Movie! Must see!
