Harriet | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

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

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.

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

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.

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