An incredible story with great performances, though perhaps a tad sentimental and littered with some unfortunate white savior moments. "Deviation from the norm will be punished until it is exploitable: The Movie." However, it's important that the story be told. Hopefully it will spawn interest in the book that it's based on so people can have more historical context.

I honestly had little to no interest in this movie at first glimpse, but after watching Hidden Figures, I can say that it well deserves the praise and Oscar buzz it's getting this year. Taraji P. Henson stands out above the rest of the cast and the supporting cast is either really good or at least tolerable. The story itself is very interesting and very well told. I never got too bored with it. If you're interested in the overall story and topic, definitely go watch it.

A very good biopic that's not really breaking any ground in the genre but does have a very good mix of fun to go with it's message regarding gender and race. The three women were great. Costner was great. And surprisingly (to me at least) Jim Parsons was actually quite good. I haven't seen him in anything besides his TV show so I was pleasantly surprised how good he was here. The black person walks into an area full of white people and they all stare in shock trope was a bit overdone.

Extremely well-made, with good direction, cinematography, and set design; good special effects and use of archive footage; an excellent cast that gives good performances up and down the line. But it's *so* Hollywood, turning people's experiences of bigotry into a series of dramatic setpieces that don't feel anything like the daily struggle against sexism, racism, and systematic oppression. I'm glad there's finally a movie about these women. I just wish it was less Standard Hollywood Narrative.

A little heavy on 'stick it to the white man' feel good moments as you got a double dose of Jim Parsons & Kirsten Dunst's caricatures serving the same purpose, but boy what a hoot Hidden Figures (2016) was! Excellent capturing the early times of the space program. A little puzzled by Octavia Spencer getting a Oscar nod and not Taraji P. Henson. With that said, all-round great performances by the dames, including Janelle Monáe, delivering a fine tribute to the black ladies of NASA!

For a movie like this, it's hard to make it feel racially charged without going into melodrama territory, but the movie, more or less, sticks to real personalities, you've got your blatant racist people, closet racist people, and true to life, the majority are either ignorant or just don't care that much. The hardest part for me to wrap my head around is how there were that many black women doing master level mathematics with a high school education at a time where black schools were terrible.

Had I seen it in time, it would have been comfortably inside my Best of 2016. I certainly see why this was nominated for Best Picture, though I do have to admit that there may not be a standout individual performance in the bunch. Instead, a strong ensemble performance and the thoughtful (if a bit cartoonish at times) treatment of uncomfortable themes and conditions of 1960's America propel it to its excellent score. It may play it safe and fail to break new ground, but it's more than watchable.

HF is as equally centered on the indignities and discrimination that the three main characters experienced as being POC and women, in addition to the equally pressing tale of The Space Race. The tensions highlighted in this film are more than timely, and it's a well-acted effort towards restoring vital contributions by these incredibly intelligent WOC into the framework of canonical American history. It has some "white savior" and white pandering moments, but is a important-yet-light family film

Very optimistic message and that what makes the movie great. A simple, but compelling story. It does show some of the ugliness of the time, but could it have done more? It does shows that oppression need to be fought in multiple ways including from the inside. It show blatant and obvious gender and race issues, but also some of the more subtle things. I came out of the theater wanting to learn something new and blaze a path forward.

Important and good film, though it does have its fair share of typical Hollywood clichés. I find myself more forgiving of those if the story it's based on is worthwhile and interesting to me - which is definitely the case here. So I would easily recommend this, but wonder what a more true to life, less Hollywoodised film about this story would have looked like.

This movie is so funny politically because every scene is like woman: "I need rights" --> guy: "no" --> woman: "women's rights are good, actually" --> guy: "oh ok, here you go then." Racism is probably why we lost the space race so bad

Forgettable film about truly remarkable women. Great story packaged in the typical Hollywood formula. Overall it was comically unoffensive and lacked the real depth of despair that I'm sure the actual women felt. It was Disney level watered down. Still, it had some feel good parts and mega budget level polishing. Just left me wanting more.

Hidden Figures is a wonderful story with three solid leads. While the story is heart warming and necessary for the times, I can't say that the film itself is anything above a paint-by-numbers Hollywood feel-good flick. Too many walking montages, nick of time plot devices, and monologues bog down an otherwise important piece of our history.

A heartwarming crowd pleaser; feels somewhat like a throwback to DRIVING MISS DAISY in its 'softly-softly' consideration of race issues in America, but the fascinating 'B' story as America races to the moon, and excellent performances all round make the sanitisation forgivable; Henson in particular is a stand-out as the 'everyman'; creating a rock-solid believable 'ordinary' woman subtly fighting back against the norm. Kudos also to Costner's fine work.

You can read elsewhere about the dramatic liberties taken to show the impact of racism, but it didn't bother me too much. Maybe the lead characters have more of a chip on the shoulder than necessary, but the actresses did well regardless. I'm always a sucker for space race as a genre, it's the single most important event in world history as far as I'm concerned. Nice to see it from a perspective that hasn't been told before. Overall, too much human drama and slightly slow/boring.

I would recommend this movie most on the premise of it featuring African American women in a hugely important role that never received any spotlight in modern history. It highlighted three women and their big achievement with NASA, but it was portrayed in too optimistic of a way, imo. They downplayed prejudice and discrimination of the times and made it seem too easy, but it did make this period drama easy and light to watch. It does make you feel good.

It's a very risk-averse formula film that doesn't break any new ground, and it's definitely adapted the story so as to make White people not feel so guilty about the whole segregation thing, but it still tells an interesting story and tells it well; with competent directing and great performances from the ensemble cast, not to mention with enough girl power and heart from the filmmaker to avoid it from feeling sterile.

At first sight, I would have let the movie pass since the movie was set in the 60s and starcast did not seem known. However, reading the glowing reviews and finding out that it is about some brilliant female mathematicians/programmers who turned out to be a driving force behind the US space missions made me change my decision. I was glad that I did. The movie is also relevant from the prevailing racial tensions in the US though things seem much better now then they were back then.

Really compelling story where 95% is really well told, but that other 5% including nearly all the use of music is horrid. You can feel the Hollywoodization of the story in the script and direction, and it hurts. Also every time they do math talk it made me cringe. Getting past that isn't too hard, though, as it's a very well acted film whose script balances all three leads exceptionally well, giving each a nice little arc where they each get to be active participants in their success.

A satisfying movie with an interesting story and characters, where the epic scale of the space race is contrasted with the minutiae of a number of human relationships which (hopefully quite accurately) represent the reality of racial discrimination and changing social attitudes during an important moment in American history. All the performances hit the mark, the casting was good, period detail was nice. The film was just too by-the-book and conventional to deserve a truly standout rating.

I realize my pedantry is catching up to me here, but as a space history buff, I had major issues with the liberties they took in telling the stories. The timeframe is completely out of sync, the characters are not that accurate, and there's a lot of extremely dramatized stuff in there just for the sake of the movie. It was, however, a good movie with its feel bad and feel good moments that were well built. If you manage to leave the pedantry behind, it must be really enjoyable.

It gets a bit too sentimental at times, and the interpersonal drama isn't anywhere near as compelling as the space-related stuff. I also wasn't huge on the many pop-music montages that really just don't fit that well in a 60's period piece. Nevertheless, this is a solid (if a little white-savior-y), well-acted adaptation of an important story that needed to be told, and I'm glad it's getting wide recognition.

HIDDEN FIGURES is a slick Hollywood historical fantasia that--for once--feels justified in molding and pruning real events to fit its dramatic arc. It successfully balances three compelling lead performances that illustrate not only the film's message about social uplift, but also the politics of America's space program. It might set a record for utterances of "That's just the way it is" in a film, but that just intensifies the impact of its righteous point--that things need not stay the same.

It's very enjoyable and definitely the most well rounded and accessible films of the nominees for this year. The story is fascinating and well told. It combines historical moments and certain dramatisation quite well. Performances are great all around and the film also has a really fun soundtrack as well. It's perhaps not the first of these stories, but it still remains very relevant today, which is probably a comment on the times now.

I'm done with the bloodless direction, I'm done with the characters who, because what they're doing is historically relevant, have to be picture perfect -- devoid of any complexity at all. I'm done.

A well done biopic (I am not typically a fan of the genre) with great performances from everyone involved (the three leads really shine, though). Perhaps the strongest part of this film is that there are no racist caricatures. Instead, the film is about white people that unwittingly contribute to a racist system.

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.” ― Stephen Jay Gould.

The audience erupted with cheers throughout Hidden Figures. It was reminiscent of the only other time I experienced that kind of excitement in a theatre, when Rocky Balboa triumphed over that formidable Russian in Rocky IV. This film not only inspires but also celebrates the incredible achievements of the women behind NASA's success, creating an electrifying atmosphere that resonates long after the credits roll.

I'm probably going to love any space-race movie that provides more factoids about that time period (especially ones I knew little about). I thought the soundtrack was distracting here, and it felt like the important commentary on race was shoehorned into a typical underdog Hollywood cliche. But the performances were strong, and it certainly made me want to read the book for more information.

Important story and well told even if a couple of scenes are slightly corny.

One can only feel sorry for the vastly overqualified cast that had to slog though such a disgustingly revisionist crap about racism once more getting abolished back in the day, and of course through the power of a white man.

The great story of three awesome women who deserve to be known to all and brought into the light. Pioneering math, programming and engineering, while dealing with so much more bullshit than their white male coworkers.

This ended up being a well-paced, uplifting, and well-acted film that was much more fun to watch than I was expecting. There are some flaws and I wished we got more time with Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson as well as the side characters and their interaction. Also, the book that this was based on featured four women, why were only three of the women featured in the movie?

Nicely made and well performed, even if it perhaps glazes over it’s more difficult issues without wanting to get its hands too dirty.

this was a great movie, but what really put it over the top for me was inventing a nice white man and giving him a small helper role. I adore all three of these black women but I really needed that before I could admit it

Considering it's a film about ladies doing maths (plus racism) it's really good fun. Absolutely loved the three central performances, particularly Janelle Monae's.

A solid film that tackles a real life inspirational story. Lead by an amazing all star female cast Hidden Figures has all the elements a sucessful drama should have. It had a lead character you could get behind, pacing that kept her story on a linear focus and three acts that each served their purpose in creating the beginning, middle and end of this inspirational drama.

Not a great but it surely is enjoyable. Everyone is awesome in this movie, especially, beside the main three, Kirsten Dunst.

Hidden Figures is a well-acted, feel-good film that is very hard to dislike despite its many flaws. These flaws can be summarised by a lack of subtlety. It's almost as if the film can't decide whether it wants to a biography honouring the women involved, or a soapbox to cry about racism past and present. While definitely a presence during the time period, the film lays it on too thick, almost going as far as to "cure" it by the end. But it's a feel-good film, more than a drama true to history.

I've been to math lectures more tense than this. But don't get overexcited, the extremely breathtaking movie Bland Figures is as much about drama as it is about science. What it is really about - is racism. Yet someone had this great idea, that making it nasty, would upset people. And upsetting people is bad. You know what else upsets people? Racism does... only not anymore. This then draws a parallel to Martin Luther King Jr. saying: "I could've had a dream".
