Hidden Figures (2016)
Directed by Theodore
Melfi this film based on real events stars Taraji P. Henson, Octavia
Spencer, Janelle Monae, Kevin Costner and Kirsten Dunst. We follow
three African-American women working at NASA in the 1960s.
Unfortunately as with
nearly every “based on a true story” this film takes an important
narrative and goes on an expedition to tell the story it wants to
rather than necessarily the one hundred percent truth. While this is
not a bad watch far too often it feels obviously constructed. In the
end this film comes off as a bit too much of a self congratulatory,
feel good film at the cost of the real achievements of some very
important people.
3/5
