Definitely worth a rental.

I love Good Will Hunting and liked Hidden Figures enough but I think the two don't really compare that well. Good Will Hunting worked for me because of the performances. Hidden Figures worked for me because of the story being told.

Hidden Figures blew my mind. I was expecting not to like it. It was absolutely tremendous.

So like five minutes tops in the movie are similar. Congrats?

Good movie because it was very close to the true story.

It was a good story and the movie was very well done. Amazing that this happened less than 60 years ago and that it took so
long to tell such a tale.
