Hidden Figures
|
|
Far
from a dry scientific tutorial or historical treatise, Hidden Figures is a warm, lively, often funny depiction of women
whose brains and work ethics were indefatigable, even in the face of racism
and sexism at their most oppressive. …this
movie adroitly portrays the sheer waste and inefficiency of racism and
misogyny. Just think how much has been
lost, the movie suggests, over centuries of depriving ourselves of the
brains, talents and leadership of more than half our population. Ann Hornaday, Washington Post |
