This might not be an extraordinary film, but it is an important one. We owe it to Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson to learn their names and recognize their work.

What a wonderful film! Truth in its ugliness and in its beauty was dealt with ably by all the characters. The two hours flew by and I wished for more. I was amazed that big name actors gave way easily to allow for the main characters' stories. I loved it and would see it again and again!

Inspirational film about NASA maths inspired by true events, with winning performances across the board, and some sharp lines. The story, with racism kept in the background, may be unfamiliar to the general public, but serves as a valuable history lesson. Not a ground-breaking film, but a true feel-good movie that needed an extra spark.

As a women who studied Math at university in the 1960s, this movie was quite relevant to me. These women were definitely trail-blazers who did not get nearly enough (or any) credit for their contributions to the NASA programs. A great story that should not have been "hidden" for so long.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I'm old enough to remember watching NASA launches on television. So it was interesting to get a part of the background story through the lives of these three amazing women.

When an audience claps at the end of a movie you know that it has reached them and this one does on several levels. The movie includes story lines on racial prejudices, feminism, personal strength and facing daunting time driven challenges through teamwork. While racism was far worse than is presented here it smartly stops short of brutality to let the story focus on the capabilities of the three female leads. Solid direction, acting and writing throughout.
