Hidden Figures spoiler free review

I haven’t updated this site in a while.  Life’s been busy.  Found a new job.  Going on 4 weeks now that I’ve been working there.  Kids are back to school.  Time goes by quickly when you’re busy so it’s been hard to get to the blog.

Anyway I wanted to take a quick minute to say, go see Hidden Figures!  We took the boys with us and we weren’t sure how they would cope with a long, non action, thinking movie but they did beautifully.  They loved it!  They were even able to tell us what the double meaning behind the title meant.  Proud parent moment there!

The cast were perfect and believable.  It made us laugh, cry, angry, and had us on the edge of our seats (even though we have a NASA buff in the family)! The math(s) theories/calculations/equations were long and complicated but that didn’t detract from enjoyment of the movie.  You don’t have to know any math or background (other than being black and being a woman in the sixties in America was tough) to love the movie.

I won’t say anymore in case I give away spoilers!  Just go see it!
