Lemmons' direction does not lessen the famous story.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 8, 2024

A riveting performance by Cynthia Erivo as freedom fighter Harriet Tubman.

| Dec 7, 2022

Cynthia Erivo puts in a potent turn in the title role.

| Sep 28, 2022

Shining through the haze of studio formula is Erivo who puts the entire movie on her back. Her performance captures the spirit of Harriet Tubman which has shamefully been missing from the big screen.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2022

It's a good movie... I think it's going to encourage some deep conversations about history.

| Sep 16, 2021

Despite its flaws, Harriet gives due diligence to the role faith played in Tubman's life.

| Aug 12, 2021

A momentous figure like Harriet Tubman deserves to be honored in every way possible. Unfortunately, Harriet is just a so-so celebration of her life, delving too much into storytelling tricks instead of letting Tubman's story lead the way.

| Feb 17, 2021

While Harriet may not be a masterpiece, it's worth seeing for its fantastic lead performance and its important message.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 1, 2021

The movie that celebrates her life occasionally errs in its excess-it covers a great deal of ground-but the light it shines on Tubman and her accomplishments burns brightly.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 31, 2021

There is something here that hooks you, that has you feeling better upon leaving [the theater] than when you sat down.

| Jan 29, 2021

The movie unproductively splits the difference between reverence and thrills. The thriller scenes aren't particularly suspenseful, and the dramatic stuff isn't particularly graceful.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 28, 2021

Cynthia Erivo delivers a stirring performance as iconic American abolitionist Harriet Tubman... But the movie falls apart in its final third, departing from history in an implausible bid to turn Tubman into a gun-toting superhero.

| Dec 21, 2020

Embodying Harriet Tubman is the talented Cynthia Erivo who gives a richly textured performance.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Nov 22, 2020

'Harriet' is not a film about slavery. It's a powerful, inspirational and redemptive film about a woman who changed the course of American history.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 15, 2020

Director Kasi Lemmons makes an admirable attempt at bringing Tubman's story to the big screen and even makes it more cinematic than its "glorified 온라인카지노추천 movie" criticisms have suggested.

| Sep 23, 2020

Importing an actor to portray her, no matter how talented Erivo is, strikes the wrong note, so to speak.

| Sep 17, 2020

Harriet is the kind of movie I would have liked to have seen in high school when learning about the Underground Railroad and the fight against slavery.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 16, 2020

It doesn't mean that Harriet as a film doesn't have value - the merit alone is worth telling, especially in this cinematic climate. But it also represents a missed opportunity to delve deeply into an aspect of history that's simply not taught enough.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 3, 2020

This is Erivo's movie and she's an incendiary presence, capable of immense sensitivity as well as soaring defiance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2020

Despite the solid performance from Cynthia Erivo, it is still an indulgent, predictable and not very moving biopic. [Full review in Spanish]
