Hidden Figures (2016)

Like I suspect most people before seeing previews for this film I was unaware of the efforts of the black female math experts at NASA in the early 1960's. What they accomplished is admirable, this film is admirable, but I must confess I found it slow (even for me) and sometimes boring. I feel like this is a movie that should have been made 20 years ago, and I felt bad that I couldn't help thinking about the superior Apollo 13 almost the whole time. Mea culpa, mea cupla. Still late is better then never I suppose, it's a story worth know and everyone does a good job in it, but I just couldn't muster loving it. ***
