Leave your thoughts about Mercury 13.
| Paste MagazineAmy GlynnThe editorial balance between talking heads and visions from the past is fantastic, and it’s spot-on stylistically. Honestly, if this film doesn’t grab you by the heart, check your pulse to make sure you still have one. |
| AARP Movies for GrownupsTim AppeloEchoes themes in Hidden Figures [...] watch this one right now. |
| Wall Street JournalDorothy RabinowitzThis is the sort of film that begins modestly-seemingly only a piece of curious history-and grows steadily deeper as it moves to its climax, and that climax is a powerful one. |
| NerdistLindsey RomainMercury 13 delves deep into the program, documenting what the women experienced and the hurdles they had to overcome to get as far as they did. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA splendid documentary about the little known female pilots tested for spaceflight in 1961. |
| ThrillistChristopher CampbellThe film is completely anecdotal, which results in a film that's often more of a human-interest piece than a deep history lesson. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyAt a brisk and efficient 78-minutes, Mercury 13 is engaging, yet sadness and anger seeps in as it progresses. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe Mercury 13 started getting their due in the ’90s, when the first woman to pilot the Space Shuttle took off. This illuminating, artful and inspiring film completes that process. |
| AwardsCircuit.comAlan FrenchWhile they may not have reached their highest potential, they represent true heroes. These women encourage young women to continue to reach for the stars |
| DeciderJade BudowskiThey didn't get the chance to take a step on the moon, but they still made a giant leap for womankind - and it's about time their names were known. |
