Sinopsis(1)
Mientras Estados Unidos competía contra Rusia por llevar al hombre al espacio, la NASA descubrió el talento oculto de un grupo de mujeres matemáticas Afro-Americanas que fueron los auténticos cerebros tras una de las mayores operaciones americanas de la historia. Basada en la increíble historia real de tres de estas mujeres, conocidas como las "ordenadores vivientes", la película sigue a estas mujeres tan pronto comienzan a ascender junto a las grandes mentes pensantes de la NASA con la tarea de calcular el lanzamiento a la órbita del astronauta John Glenn y garantizar su regreso. Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson, y Katherine Johnson superaron cualquier limitación profesional, de raza o de género mientras su talento y deseo por alcanzar sus sueños las catapultó como verdaderas heroínas en la historia de los Estados Unidos. (20th Century Fox España)

No se puede encontrar una película más adecuada para la academia americana, tal vez le falte alguna celebración de la participación americana en alguna guerra, aunque en realidad la película trata de la Guerra Fría. Aquí tenemos una celebración de lo maravillosos que son los Estados Unidos, cómo viven allí personas inteligentes, educadas y talentosas, que deben ser más inteligentes, educadas y talentosas que los "malvados rusos". Y, por supuesto, a todos les viene bien el año pasado que la atención se centre en las mujeres negras oprimidas y segregadas, que tienen más espacio que las mujeres blancas y no tienen espacio. Ay ay ay, ya estoy realmente cansado de todos estos esquemas americanos clásicos típicos de este género, podría incluso adivinar la escena en la que se aplaudirá con los ojos vendados. Y personalmente para mí, siempre hay algo negativo en una película en la que se discute demasiado la matemática y la física que odio, así que me aburría cuando se adentraban en detalles técnicos innecesarios. Solo doy una estrella por las buenas actuaciones de todos los personajes principales y secundarios: no reconocí a Janelle, le quedaba muy bien y también me gustó Kevin Costner, que claramente le gusta actuar en todas las películas relacionadas con la personalidad de JFK. Y para terminar, no puedo evitar mencionar que no veo ninguna diferencia en el desempeño de Octavia Spencer y Kirsten Dunst.

I'll admit that if it weren't for Kirsten Dunst in a supporting role, I would have definitely missed out on Hidden Figures. But Kirsten has good taste, and her name and character are well portrayed, if only in just a few images, which certainly "adorns" this sure bet. Finally, her secondary storyline and that of Jim Parsons represent the most pressing thing the main characters had to contend with. Or racial segregation, NASA, and the American response to Gagarin. It’s worth a recommendation.

Wow, the black guy Chris Rock once tells off the Oscar committee and one year later we have a series of Oscar-nominated movies, where Hidden Figures is definitely the best movie the year has to offer. You see it is a heartbreaking story of four clever girls who are working at NASA and at the same time have a problem – they are black. And since it’s the early 1960s and America is at the peak of a cold war against the Soviet Union about who will be the first one to send a man to space, what we have is a fairly racist subtext, which in this movie climaxes with separate toilets for whites and blacks. The story is nice, the execution as well, but those pro-American propagandist scenes where the head of NASA bangs on the sign “WC, Toilets for Coloreds” with twenty white colleagues watching were a bit shallow and I didn’t find them emotionally engaging. It might be because I am absolutely unable to grasp how far Americans managed to get with racism while still claiming it was OK. So here they are and now they have to try and safe face with movies that are supposed to be talked about for the rest of the year…

A film about racial segregation (not only) at NASA and the space races from the US perspective. With regard to the former, they push it too hard, whilst in the case of the latter it kind of only brushes the surface. Moreover, it is done with a number of various inaccuracies and rather harmful simplifications - for example, if I hadn't been interested in the topic before, I would get the impression from Hidden Figures that the computer scientists at NASA were solely black women, and immediately after the closing credits I'd go looking to see if John Glenn's launch was indeed such a thrilling drama or not. Despite all of this, though, the film is nice to watch, it has a beautiful camera and great music, all three protagonists are fine, and I liked seeing Kevin Costner again.

To accuse this slightly cheesy material of being full of clichés is about the same as dwelling on the fact that there is too much action in an action film, so take the opinions of the few nitpickers who will rate it lukewarmly with a grain of salt. In any case, it's exactly the kind of film that will appeal to the masses, not because it's ass-kicking, like some of Ron Howard's earlier pieces, but precisely because the themes and posters look exactly like that and yet it manages to get around it in a fairly sophisticated way. I mean, sure, it's a film full of good personalities and generous gestures, where there can be nothing but a positive outcome at the end, but that's what you expect from the trailer. Where it differs, however, is the intimate, idiosyncratic and incredibly fresh confrontation between black women and white men in a time of oppression and racial segregation. What you don't expect, though, is lots of snappy dialogue and clouds of emotion. Nor do you expect such a great female acting trio, which is complemented by Kevin Costner with his worldly "Man of Steel" type of role, like we all like him. The nominations are understandable, because not once does it slip into excessive sentimentality and yet it is often good to have a handkerchief handy. The only criticism is perhaps the unnecessarily literal script, which makes Hidden Figures just figures in the finale.
