Atom User Reviews for Harriet

full of love sadness, betrayal, Loss, strength, perseverance, faith, family, the treatment of slaves, the power white men had over black people, the suffering perseverance.. a wonderful movie for children to see and learn and adults to never forget.

This is an incredible movie you leave feeling so inspired about the power of what one individual can do. Amazing, great acting,

Despite Erivo's tenacity in the role, the drama feels more stately and impressive than urgent and affecting. It's never uninvolving though, and the script does a solid job of tracing the formation of a courageous freedom fighter out of a scared runaway.

The Hollywood Reporter

A thoughtful biopic that grows more involving the more it shrugs off its tendency towards the reverential.

Allan Hunter

Screen International

A disappointingly standard biopic, one whose technical flaws and paint-by-numbers clichés threaten to overshadow its subject’s compelling story.
