Hidden Figures

Rating: 7/10 (25 September 2019)

I really didn't think I was going to like this movie. Maybe I've just seen the wrong ones but generally speaking movies with this kind of buzz annoy me with overly biased representations and a distinctive preaching tone to the message that just grates on me.
Hidden Figures is not that movie.
Yes, it has something to say and it says it but the story here is more than just that one note. There's heart, comedy and a quirkinesses to the characters that humanizes them and makes them enjoyable.
There are one or two overly ignorant characters, but they feel like a minority and the cast at large is allowed to be natural, flawed and real.
Definitely worth a watch.
