Hidden Figures (2016 Theodore Melfi & co-scr)

A beautiful film, previously described here. Kevin Costner is a bit slow on the uptake - he should realise that Taraji Henson is his biggest asset, and we need one extra line right at the end, like 'I hope you'll join me getting a man on the moon'. Octavia Spencer and Jonelle Monáe are the other whiz kids. The film, Spencer and the screenplay (with Allison Schroeder) were Oscar nominated (Moonlight, in which both Monáe and Mahershala Ali also appeared, won).

It has a wonderful momentum.
