COMMUNITY REVIEWS

True story submitted by SurfGrape on June 16, 2017, 3:45pm The true story of the amazing women of NASA. Pioneers in the early days, before computers. This is a movie everyone should see.

Highly recommended submitted by Zekicmom on June 18, 2017, 7:12am I loved this movie. It prompted a lot of interesting and important conversations with my third grader. So much has changed since the time the events in the movie took place! Eye opening but still entertaining.

An Inspiring Story submitted by Duette on June 18, 2017, 6:21pm A wonderful account of history that had been lost. It is a real gem for women and girls especially for minorities. Lesson: you define yourself and don't let the norms around you do that for you.

Outstanding! submitted by ssmyth on June 20, 2017, 4:56am Great movie! True Story, inspiring, eye opening, well acted. A MUST SEE!!

Great submitted by DL on June 22, 2017, 8:38pm This movie is way better than the book. Great movie.

Should be required in schools submitted by mmckenzie on June 25, 2017, 1:46pm Stunning, true story based on amazing women. Should be REQUIRED viewing in schools.

Recommended submitted by yenkong on June 27, 2017, 9:27am Based on a true event. Highly recommended.

outstanding submitted by Sierra B on June 28, 2017, 11:05am This movie is amazing. The story should have been told a long time ago, but at least it is being told.

Moving Biopic submitted by Meginator on June 30, 2017, 8:11pm We need more stories like the ones told in this film, and it is heartening to see these women's stories told so brilliantly. The acting in this film is outstanding, especially by the three leads, and the story is engaging and to the point, carefully (and successfully) balancing the women's personal and professional lives. This is a very moving and very necessary film, and I am glad that it was made.

Feel good movie submitted by steveiew on July 1, 2017, 9:49am This was a great movie!

Good Adaptaion submitted by kbeach97 on July 26, 2017, 7:20am Lots of liberties were taking with the story in order to make more dramatic and watchable but it's still a great story and needs to be shared. What these woman over came in order to use their talents and follow their interests should never be minimized.

Fabulous! submitted by eileenw on July 28, 2017, 12:40pm Weaving multiple story-threads through a great journey, HIDDEN FIGURES made me laugh, cheer, and cry by turns. The acting is great and the story is very well done. Most families could enjoy this, but also a great one to watch if you don't have kids.

great submitted by hollieesper121573 on August 13, 2017, 5:56pm Captivating story and outstanding movie

Everyone should see it submitted by sandigra on August 18, 2017, 4:46pm What a terrific story and it is a true story at that. Everyone should watch it. Too bad we haven't come as far as we should from that time period. How many women nowadays would put up with such treatment. No one should be treated the way they were. Wonder where the space program would be today without those excellent women. Recommend it for everyone.

Truly amazing submitted by rekha on August 20, 2017, 9:20pm Wonderful movie about an amazing group of strong women. I agree with another viewer that said it should be required in schools. Very entertaining too.

Amazing Story submitted by Beth Manuel on August 25, 2017, 10:05am This was a fascinating film. Curious how much of the details are true in the story. The actors were fun to watch & believable in their roles. Also, for those who may have visual impairments that prevent them from seeing details of the film, it has a described narration track.

Loved it! submitted by Macr1 on August 28, 2017, 12:43pm This was a great, inspirational movie with a phenomenal story, solid acting, and really fun music! I would highly recommend it.

Inspirational submitted by LVDS on August 31, 2017, 8:32am Smart classy women, doing their jobs well....fighting racial & women's recognition in the work place. Honored by NASA

Hidden for over 50 years submitted by sara on June 24, 2018, 9:05am When you think of how strong the Civil Rights movement was at the time, and then see how these women were treated,...

Great submitted by kbahleda on July 23, 2018, 9:11am This movie is an interesting story that many people don't know exists. A must watch

Excellent submitted by kassafrass on July 28, 2018, 9:57am As always with historical films, some liberties were taken. But I feel like the changes made were chosen well, and I feel like this film was powerful and memorable. Definitely one I will watch again.

Good movie! submitted by betsywil on August 9, 2018, 3:48pm This movie is fun to watch and tells an important and overlooked story.
Good on-screen storytelling.
But for greater accuracy, read the book.

Incredible submitted by lstorc on August 27, 2018, 11:17am This was an incredible adaptation of historical period! It was well cast and exceptionally well executed!

Great submitted by c_zhang on June 30, 2019, 4:13pm This movie is amazing. The story should have been told a long time ago, but at least it is being told.

Wonderful submitted by sydcha on August 6, 2019, 7:05pm The story and execution are great. I really loved this movie and think that everyone should watch it.

Hidden Figures submitted by crp on August 29, 2019, 3:01pm I loved this movie! The characters and the story are compelling. I especially appreciate all of the detail in the characters' clothes and settings, and that they didn't gloss over the complexity of the times.

Excellent submitted by kittenkat101 on June 20, 2020, 7:20pm A really well-done movie based on a true story. It doesn't gloss over the sexism and racism that these women faced-they had to work many times harder to be recognized, and even then they weren't always. Highly recommend.

dd submitted by GioMuzique on August 5, 2020, 5:43pm Amazing women

Trailblazers. submitted by mamtavj on August 20, 2020, 11:28am Such an inspiring story. True trailblazers....

SO GOOD submitted by ks2345 on August 20, 2022, 10:32am Amazing and inspiring movie

Excellent Movie & Very Inspiring submitted by MikkiMoscara on June 20, 2023, 10:20am I learned so much from this movie. Great acting and stories that deserved to be told. Highly recommended. I think they should show this movie in schools.

Worth Watching submitted by Beatlesfan04 on July 1, 2023, 10:57pm I love space history and this movie is tells the story of women who got us to the moon and the challenges and discrimination they faced. Imagine what we could accomplish if we valued each other regardless of identity and let people advance and flourish.
