COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Highly recommended submitted by Zekicmom on June 18, 2017, 7:17am This movie was an eye opener for me and still highly intertaining. Seeing it with my third grader led to some interesting and important conversations. She had so many questions!

Good movie submitted by clucas on June 18, 2017, 8:53am Hidden Figures was engaging and enlightening. The actors performances were well done.

Inspiring submitted by pamhockey25 on July 19, 2017, 4:33pm This movie has so much history in it.This is a true story these women are true American heroes. When I saw this movie at the theater the audience applauded. It was equally inspiring watching it at home.

Good submitted by DL on July 27, 2017, 8:54pm Enjoyed this film, very interesting part of history that wasn't well known before this film.

How could people treat each other this way? submitted by Suzanne Muenz on August 29, 2017, 6:14pm While watching this movie, I was horrified at how African Americans were treated, and this was not that long ago. I think every person should watch this movie. It is definitely an eye opening experience.

Interesting submitted by AprilCDB on June 19, 2018, 8:53pm This movie was very good. It was interesting to watch how these woman contributed to the space program. It was also interesting and heart breaking to see how these woman were treated.

It was an education alright. submitted by lisa on August 16, 2018, 12:49pm I wish people wouldn't act like being able to do math is some extraordinary thing tho.

Remarkable submitted by lstorc on August 26, 2018, 2:37pm This was an exceptional film in understanding the times in which it takes place and the efforts going into the space program.

good submitted by yufamily on August 18, 2019, 4:08pm It's great to see smart women making their contributions

Unbelieveable submitted by sara on August 15, 2020, 3:56pm Unbelieveable that I had never heard of these women until this movie came out. I'm glad they finally got the recognition that they deserved.

historical inaccuracies submitted by tisaallen on June 15, 2022, 6:35pm I liked the book but got bugged by the historical accuracies in this film which threw off the awareness it was trying to raise.

Glad this exists but I didn't think the movie was that good submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:24am I was pretty disappointed with this, but I'm glad the movie exists. It tells a story that many people didn't know and it became much more well known with the critical and Oscar acclaim. I wish there were black perspectives behind the camera, and I think it shows. The three leads were excellent, but I thought Mary's story didn't get the focus that the other two did. Good pairing with The Right Stuff, but it was lacking.

Hidden Figures submitted by Clown81 on August 7, 2023, 10:41pm I love this movie because it has told the truth about black people being successful with the odds against them.
