Ian Dawe Reviews "Hidden Figures"

A good film, but not a great film:

Of course, the film has a happy ending. It must, to be this kind of film, but by the time it arrives, the audience should be ready for it. This is a movie that wants the audience to leave with smiles on their faces, feeling uplifted. There was a time when most films aimed for that goal. It is nice, sometimes, to have that experience and to learn the true story of three women of colour, in the south, who despite their many challenges managed to make important contributions to the space race.
