    Erivo's great (obviously) and the movie is better than just some run of the mill biopic, even though it certainly has elements of one. Kasi Lemmons sees Tubman as a force of nature and the best scenes lean in to that perspective.

    I absolutely enjoyed this film. I thought it was a wonderful experience, it was over-the-top, breathtaking and emotional. I wasn't quite sure exactly what was gonna happen during this film, so I kept watching, and I kept focused, the story of that Harriet Tubman is absolutely emotional, and I definitely highly recommend everybody to truly check out this film

    🍀 5.7/10 Cynthia Erivo is great as Harriet and there's good performances all around but I feel like sometimes this film is a little undercooked and doesn't reach its full potential. especially with the emotional beats. It does have some pretty good emotion but then occasionally will fumble with underdeveloped plot lines that feel a little rushed. still a pretty good and one occasion where I think it could've done better with a little bit of a longer runtime to flesh out some of that emotion. And another time where I really wish they went all Quentin Tarantino on that Gideon guy pls. Grade B-

    10/10 movie, really shows how powerful Harriet Tubman was and how many slaves she freed. The singing was impeccable and definitely strung at a few heart strings, you can now watch on Netflix

    Harriet is an exciting tale of escape, faith, and freedom. Erivo captured the essence of a character sick of her old life with unwavering faith to start another. Although it doesn't break any storytelling barriers, I found Harriet to be moving and gained great respect for the figure represented on screen.

    When Harriet "talked to God everyday", I don't think she had litteral psykick future powers. It's like the Mulan 2020 "Chi" thing, which was already bad enough when it wasn't about a real person. Content for a good story was right there because it already happened. Why'd they do this

    Well acted but slightly ridiculous. Harriet Tubman deserved better than the Hollywood version delivered here
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    The acting is excellent. The story almost too unbelievable. And that is the reason for one to watch. See the evil. Feel the evil. And you will.

    Really fun to her "over-come" entertaining movie with many layers making it one of those movies you watch again every time it pops on. High on the racist expectation chart It does give some Wildly inaccurate history (-1 star) & maybe a bit "over the top" but the basics are true enough. Cynthia Erivo (Harriet) no doubt carries the movie. Loved her in the Stephen king series "The Outsider" She is impossible not to like & has charisma in leaps & bounds.

    Loved it, although it's heart breaking to see what happened back then and still happens to this day. I'll never understand it. Cythina Erivo is magnificent in this role. And her voice adds to the experience.
