The Last Jedi and Hidden Figures
I saw a couple of films over Xmas - one at the cinema and one on DVD.
The Last Jedi was interesting, but a little disappointing. It's quite a nice character piece and a sci fi where the women have decent roles, but I felt that the plot was rather lacking and that the background had not been developed any further. Very pretty though.
Hidden Figures was based on the true life roles of three black women in NASA. It was a pretty good film, but I was aware that they had to fiddle with the relationships between the women and the timeline quite a bit (eg. the women were not close friends and their successes were not within a few months of each other). So, worth a look and based on true stuff (but check out Wikipedia afterwards).
