Hidden Figures

The first Screen Unseen of the year and it turned out to be Hidden Figures.
This one focuses on three black women working for Nasa in the early 60's during the Space race.

The one, constant factor with all the Screen Unseen movies is you know you're going to get a talking-point movie.. A movie that usually divides audiences.. I was with this movie from the start. The three leads put in excellent performances and it was interesting to note that this sort of segregation was going on only 50 years ago..!

Kevin Costner turns up (well, it is the sixties) and puts in his own contribution towards the civil rights movement.
Actually, I'm not being fair. This was a cracking movie and I throughly enjoyed it.

Overall a well deserved ****
