Important story, poor execution

Rating: 5/10 (23 June 2019)

I liked the story behind the movie, but too many things kept distracting me.
Did EVERYONE have to drive a car that looked like it came from an auto show? I was a kid when the events of this movie were taking place, and I don't remember any cars looking that good, unless they just left the dealership.
I kept thinking they got all the vehicles from someone like Jay Leno, and they told him, we only want the best of your collection, and make sure they are all waxed and polished.
As an electronics person, I was insulted by the lack of research. Computer programmers are not electrical engineers or vice versa. For a movie about woman in a technical field, I felt embarrassed for the actresses who had to portray some of the nonsense. It was not their fault, as I suspect they didn't realize the mistakes the writer made. People hired to program complex equations into a computer do not also fix the computers.
Some of the story regarding racism felt a little pushy as well. Instead of focusing on the accomplishments of these woman, they seemed to focus more on the racial problems they faced.
Black woman of that era had a tough go of things, whether they were rocket surgeons, house wives, or race car drivers. I think the movie would have been better if they focused more on the accomplishments of these talented people, inspite of their hardships.
Dispite my critsisms, I would recommend watching this movie, if only as a starting point into researching some amazing, mostly forgotten, people.
