Hidden Figures (2016)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.39:1 127m
Director: Theodore Melfi
Cast: Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monaé, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst
Synopsis:
As America races to put a man into orbit around the Earth, three black women working at NASA struggle to have their own special contributions recognised in spite of institutionalised prejudice.
Review:
Dignified, period-coated feelgood drama with enough of a factual basis to make all that forgiveable, while providing the writers with ample opportunity for the kind of personal travails and triumphs that are the staple of the genre. Impeccably made, it makes its points with warmth and humour rather than causticity.
