“HIDDEN FIGURES takes us back to 1961, when racial segregation and workplace sexism were widely accepted facts of life and the word “computer” referred to a person, not a machine. Here the computers are three African-American women who work at NASA headquarters. Assigned to data entry jobs and denied recognition or promotion, they would go on to play crucial roles in the American space program.“ (reelviews) 
„Three real-life African-American women helped decipher and define the mathematics used during the space race in the 1960s. HIDDEN FIGURES tells their stories with some of the year’s best writing, directing and acting. Co-writer/director Theodore Melfi has a light touch not often found in dramas like this, which makes the material all the more effective. “ (rogerebert.com) 
„These women are so inspirational that it would be hard to mess up the story.“ (awm)
