Valutazioni e recensioni

This is a great movie. It has put an inspiration in me to do the right thing. Not only helping my people, but to help mankind. To the accuracy of the movie, I am not a historian but I do know that this is not a documentary. It’s a movie and as long as it tells the story and does not falter to far from the truth, I am ok with that. It has got me thinking and inspired me and that is sign of a great movie. I loved it

Movie makes up history & puts a white supremacist spin on it, gives her a white savior, and has a fictional Black slave catcher when they did not exist. And the title role is played by a woman who hates Foundational Black Americans.

Harriet has Cynthia Erivo bring Harriet herself to life in a powerful film about freedom, one that also is intense at times and one that is inspiring. A great way to learn more about Harriet Tubman. I feel it is a 4 out of 5 as it could be done just a bit better.
