I liked this based on a true story, Disney-sanitized Civil Rights story of the struggle against oppression by three African-American women at NASA in Virginia during the early 1960s. Their triumphs speak to both the movement for change and the moment of struggle that encouraged them to reject and challenge societal constraints. Starring Taraji Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monae, the three women break barriers of race and gender with the occasional help of less bigoted white folks, including a crusty NASA boss (Kevin Costner) and John Glenn (Glen Powell) as compared to the bigoted exclusionary scientist played by Jim Parsons and white women who stand in their way, epitomized by Kirsten Dunst. They thrive in computing, engineering, and mathematics (as computers) despite the limitations imposed on them by white society. Mahershala Ali’s African-American Army Colonel is stiffer than he needed to be but it is Disney. One of the most interesting things about this is the presentation of Virginia governed by apartheid while the Army had integrated. Federal agencies such as NASA were still abiding by Jim Crow segregation. White folks take many things for granted as understood, rarely questioning their own good intentions even if, as one of our heroines tells Dunst after hearing her defend her good intentions, “and you probably believe that”. A good film about a fascinating subject at this historic moment even if historically and visually sanitized
