I saw the movie and it was terrific.
I never would have thought that watching a movie about black female mathematicians would be so good. Sounded boring to me, but it was not.
Lots of actual footage from the era as well.
We really wanted to see it and also thought it was really good. We are ‘Space Race’ people. I thought it was well done, but was taken aback by the admission that the ‘bathroom problem’ wasn’t true for Ms Johnson. Finding that out diminished the movie a bit for me. Not that I wanted it to be true, just that I consider it incendiary and manipulative to put that type of falsehood into a movie with such a great story. And those women were brilliant. I’m glad their story is receiving the interest that it is receiving.
