Good Movie

An entertaining and informative movie, well worth a watch. Very fine acting. Unfortunately another example of men’s degradation and humiliation of people of colour and the deliberate and hostile exclusion of women from society since time immemorial. All men have so much to answer for.

Poor script
Badly framed
Badly edited
Wooden acting
Corny beyond belief
What next? A film about a few cashiers at Asda who contributed profit that made Walmart take over? Geesh.

Analytic geometry and Fortran with heart

A great ensemble piece which is very well researched and only occasionally schmaltzy

Incredible

I can not believe I did not know about this story! An incredible film, which should be watched by everybody. I found myself experiencing a range of emotions throughout, it is truly inspiring to see these intelligent black women show just what they are capable of.

Beauty of character trumps bigotry

I don't know how accurately the film portrays the actual events, but that hardly matters. This is not a documentary. This is a presentation of how courage, tenacity and dignity overcomes bone-headed bigotry. It is shameful that it has taken so long for this inspiring story to be told. Even if a little simplistic at times, the story is told well, acted beautifully and moved me to tears. It is a must-see for anyone who aspires to being a mature human being.

Fantastic Film

Wasn't sure what to expect but I found this to be a riveting film with wonderful cast performances from all. Superb story, scary to think how black people were treated. Absolutely stand out performances by Octavia Spencer and Taraji P Henson. Great to see Kevin Costner too.

Beautifully made film based on an incredible true story. As soon as I finished watching it I promised myself I'd sit and watch it again with my daughter one day.

I have been so moved and inspired by any movie.

Honestly, I was sat in tears and left speechless. The history within the movie and the work of three coloured woman that changed the way in NASA viewed and respected employees to be the beginning for other businesses to the same… it is inspiring and really encouraging.
It's so inspiring and especially for all women. Not just those of colour. Those who are undervalued who strive to achieve the career in which they wish to pursue are able to overcome anything and be noticed, praised and feel proud knowing they did their work correctly and hence positive results. Just truly inspiring.

Amazing story line

Had me hooked from the beginning. Who really knew that there was Afro Americans women in Nassau back in the day? Well this film for me really showed the struggle to a certain extent of those women back then. Fab film will be buying it!!

corny re-write of history

It's an admirable subject, but handled in true over-glossy Hollywood style here. Ridiculous coincidences, simple script, and every cliche you can imagine conspire to overly-simplify a much more complex and nuanced subjetc. This is feel-ggod stuff, but it's far too saccharine to be anything other than light friday-night viewing.

Hidden figures - you need to watch this film

Awesome account of 3 incredibly brave women who embraced their destiny in the face of terrible persecution. So pleased that they were recognised for their contribution not only to the space race but to the breaking down of racial barriers. Great film

Amazing! Wonderful and True!

Always that extra bit special when the amazing story you are watching is a true story and that these amazing women defied the odds at the time in such a graceful and clever way outsmarting all those around them and outsmarting the law of the land.
Wonderful movie, telling their story so beautifully. Please bring us more of these true stories of such courage and determination against all odds, exposing the hideousness of ignorance and arrogance.

A good watch

A really good film which tells the story of three remarkable women who not only helped to lay the foundations of the US space program, but also advanced the cause of human equality. Beautifully and sensitively acted.

Hollywood just got resuscitated

It has been a long time since we have seen a really new idea come out of Hollywood and this certainly is one. The story line is great so is the acting. The inclusion of original 60s NASA footage is well placed and appreciated. The only thing is that the story is true so we're the background events of white:black segregation which in some respects are painful yet still is to the credit of the film. More of the same quality movies please.

Heroes are found in the most unlikely places

Here is a movie that deserves recognition for telling the stories of unknown heroes behind one of the biggest events in human history, putting people in space. Taraji P Henson and Octavia Spencer shine in this fascinating drama. It's about people trying to find a voice in a widely male dominated society and these stories are the stories that need to be told. Never underestimate the power of women, they deserve the credit and this film gives them justice. A truly inspirational movie and a great addition to any film collection. I will certainly pre-order this and hope that it is released soon

Underrated

Such a wonderful, intelligent, touching, funny and very down-to-earth film. I'm honestly surprised that it didn't get more recognition. Would definitely recommend.
