Henson) who gets the most attention; Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer); and Mary Jackson (Janelle Mon\u00e1e.\u00a0 Johnson, who is presumably the smartest of the three friends, is hired because of her talent with analytical geometry, while Mary Jackson is to go on to be an engineer and the first Black woman in the night division of a segregated high school.\u00a0 Melfi carefully builds his case that discrimination holds back the country, preventing the best minds to work (especially if they are women).\u00a0 The director, whose \u201cSt. Vincent\u201d is a lightweight comedy, moves easily into penetrating fare as he hones in on the White workers doing their important job making calculations for the U.S. role in space, particularly after our country is kicked in the butt by the Soviet Union.\u00a0 Our most powerful enemy had put Sputnik into space, thereby setting the pace and daring the U.S. to surpass its mastery of science.<\/p>\n<p>The travails of the three Black women find, most alarmingly, that Katherine Johnson had to walk, really run, a round trip of one half mile to get to the \u201ccolored women\u2019s room\u201d and could not even complete the filling of her coffee cup because the \u201ccolored\u201d pot was almost empty.\u00a0 Cue in Al Harrison (Kevin Costner), the supervisor of the whole operation, who gradually sees Johnson\u2019s talent and uses her to check on the work of others.\u00a0 Ultimately she allows the John Glenn flight to take place when it was threatened by yet another cancellation by plotting the coordinates to the hundredth of a decimal point.<\/p>\n<p>To make the movie accessible to a wide audience, the director and the scripters carefully put in Hallmark Hall of Fame type commercialism and inspiration, moving the large group of mostly White men who at first look at the Black women with alarm and skepticism but are won over one and for all.\u00a0 I could have done without the romance and the coochy coo with the adorable young \u2018uns, but after all, some people want to make sure that brainiacs have a life outside their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>A first-rate production which takes three modest figures out from behind the pole. They are no longer hidden and their story should inspire no small number of viewers.\u00a0 With its PG rating, teachers from grade school through high school and maybe even college should reward their youths with trips to the cinema.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated\u00a0 PG.\u00a0 126 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 B+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Technical \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Overall \u2013 A-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/hf1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/hf1.jpg\" alt=\"hf\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-164581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/hf1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/hf1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HIDDEN FIGURES 20th Century Fox Reviewed by: Harvey Karten, Showbiz Grade: A- Director:\u00a0 Theodore Melfi Written by: Allison Schroeder, Theodore Melfi, based on Margo Lee Shetterley\u2019s book.
