Critics Consensus

Harriet serves as a sincere tribute to a pivotal figure in American history -- albeit one undermined by its frustratingly formulaic approach.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

[Harriet] takes historical reality and stretches it over the canvas of an old-fashioned adventure story.

Rated: 2/5

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

It has a central performance that carries the drama shoulder-high. It's gripping, and there's a mystical element to it...

Washington Blade

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

Keith Garlington

Keith & the Movies

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.

Rated: 3/5

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