A movie that is just out of this world

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2017)

Where can I even begin with Hidden Figures other than this was the movie of 2016 for sure.
We follow three black women who work at NASA, aiming for their dreams and suffering through the oppression that black people went through during the 60s.
This really opened my eyes to the oppression black people went through. I've heard of it before but never really knew how bad it was until I watched this movie. It was terrible and the things that people go through in this movie? There are still people alive today that went through this. This really was still quite recent. It's mind blowing to think about, really.
Our characters are three strong black women that don't take crap and it's beautiful. They hold their heads up high and do not allow the oppression to get to them. They do what they can in what they're provided and they kick ass. Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe gave absolutely beautiful performances and they are definitely some actresses to watch out for. I can't wait to see what else they bring to film.
I actually did a lot of research into Friendship 7 before watching this, and the plot was really true to fact. It's really wonderful to see that the script writers and such did a lot of research into the events that happened.
The cinematography in this movie was stunning. I was really taken aback by how wonderful it was and the film creators did an absolutely amazing job with it. I would gladly watch this movie over and over again.
My only qualm was that the timing seemed to just phase and we were supposed to know immediately. These few times really threw me off and it took me time to reconnect to the movie and realised what was happening. Other than this, the movie was absolutely stunning.
A definite 9.5/10 from me for sure.
