Relevant, Insipid, Quirky, Entertaining, Clever

See it if to learn a little about her contribution to the science & her disappointment on initial rejection & a bit more about her personal life.

Don't see it if lots of scene changes, breaking the fourth wall, lighting changes or background sounds interfering w/hearing accented voice are not for you.

Disappointing, Confusing, Ambitious

See it if you're curious about Hedy Lamar's interesting and complex life or you enjoy shows that highlight the lives of women.
