I missed the Unlimited screening for Hidden Figures, but I finally went to see it this month. It is a truly amazing film. Pleasantly surprised would be an understatement, but I'm not talking about the film, I'm talking about the viewers. I had kind of expected the viewing age to average out at over the 40 mark. But by the start of the film there were a couple of parents with their children who were certainly under the age of 12. They were explaining things to them and before the film started they were chatting about all sorts of things that would be touched on during it... honestly, it restored a little faith in humanity.

To break, broke, broken

This film is so many things. Sad, darkly beautiful, surreal, humorous, grotesque... I could go on. It’s certainly a lot to take in and a lot to consider. Some moments so visceral it’s painful to watch. With its commentary on humanity and society and its impactful imagery it is a film I will not soon forget.

If it weren't for the probably unsimulated animal cruelty depicted in the film I would give it a fairly high score. If you can endure that there are moments of the film worth seeing. But I don’t blame a person for steering clear of it.
