Hidden Figures: Talent doesn't look gender or race.

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2019)

In the 60's, three African American women were trying to make a change in their lives. Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) helps Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) to make history in the U.S. Space Program. Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) tries finding a way to maintain his group employable when technology seems to be close to does their jobs, and finally Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) pursues her dreams against every odd to become an engineer.
This movie starts great. It has heart, and it has a great cast full of great actors. Every character has a personality that differentiates from others, and they set their motivations. But the movie starts to fell flat halfway through it.
My interest at the beginning of the movie was really high, and I like every character but then at the middle of the movie I start to lose focus. I think is predictable what's going to happen and they don't try hiding it. It's a simple good movie that demonstrates how these women have to work twice as hard as anyone else to be noticed as equals. It doesn't intent to be more than that. The message is clear but they should have more focus on that in the middle of the second act.
This movie gets 7 out of 10 because it has heart, talented cast and an incredible story. But it isn't as good as it promise to be in the first act of the movie.
