Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine100 - My pic for BEST FILM OF 2016 is HIDDEN FIGURES. I've seen it twice and I've cried tears of joy each time. I'm so glad these amazing women with incredible minds, have now been publicly recognized for their gifts and talents which contributed to our country's space travel. But it's also a good movie too in terms of heart,pacing,characters,music & joy!

Sober Film Critic James Brown93 - I've got nothing but love for Hidden Figures. Director Theodore Melfi's historical comedy-drama does what the best films do. It teaches moviegoers something they probably never knew before the theater darkened and the film began.

Bryan Lienesch91 - Taraji P. Henson and Janelle Monae are nothing short of terrific while Octavia Spencer brings another solid performance.
Rob from GuysFilmQuest85 - The real life events surrounding Hidden Figures deserve to be told, and it’s wonderful that the resultant film was of such high quality that it reached audiences which it otherwise might not.
