Very well done retelling of Harriet Tubman’s life. Her courage and bravery could seem reckless, but society left her with no choice. We can all learn something from her. I don’t care for foul language in film hence the 4 stars, but I’ve…

The title, Harriet, of the DVD is appropriate, self explanatory. Slavery has been told, re-hashed and told again. I felt inspired and believe this is the example the future children should see, though Harriet's likeness or physical…

Got through 20 minutes and decided I didn’t want to be reminded of slavery.

Quite excellent. Of course most movies made on true stories take liberties, but it's still very good & eye opening.

Cynthia Erivo did an amazing job and I wanted to like this movie but I wish it was actually about Harriet Tubman. If you didn't know, Harriet was owned by a woman at the time of her escape, the "love" story about the man was pure fiction.…

Absolutely fantastic performances from Cynthia Erivo on down! Writing, directing, well crafted throughout! Consistently captivating from start to finish! An absolute must see for history buffs!

One of the best films I've seen on the emancipation of slaves! Plus it is a history lesson for those who have not heard of Harriet Tubman and her extraordinary courage, strength and faith. Cynthia Erivo's acting and singing were superb! …

Just on the strength of the lead actress this movie is a must see. There's always the question of historical accuracy but that's up for the viewer to further research. The special features are worth watching and I wish I had taken the…

Well done movie about the courage of a black woman's fight for freedom for herself and for other slaves.

Coming from a Sundown Town (Blacks had to leave prior to Sundown) and attending a university of 10,000 including a mere 4 African-American students, for me, this was a late, yet welcome lesson in African-American history. The only negative…

With God there is always hope, otherwise this story could have turned out hopeless and gloomy. Good and evil always will be side by side, one has to choose. Looking back to the history I am grateful for Canada’s open arms. Be good to this…

One tough women with a set of you know what. We gave it the high rating because it was a true story. She made a difference in many lives and was instrumental in freeing slaves. A driven person on a mission and a tremendous faith in God.

Very interesting historical movie. Great acting. Impressed with all she did in real life. Details at end of movie.

small things in a movie, inattention to detail, hurried and unexplained things can ruin a good movie. Ten slaves dragging hoes on some dusty ground, jeez they'd all starve to death. How did Harriet get any food or water on her first…

Some parts of this movie are good...but it is VERY slow-moving.

I looked on Wikipedia to see images of Harriet Tubman who was severe looking with possibly only a hint of a smile in one picture, so the actress chosen for this part was a good look alike. Cynthia Erivo acted lively and cheerful in the…

I really liked the depiction of Harriet Tubman in this movie. Sure, it could have been a BLOCKBUSTER HIT with all kinds of stars and special effects, but I feel like Harriet herself was like this amazing slow-burn of a firecracker (didn't…

Unbelievably, the story of Harriet Tubman has not been the subject of a film before. Cythia Ervio played her in this ambitious, impassioned, somewhat flawed biopic. The first half treats her life in slavery, while the second deals with her…

"Harriet" is the best movie that I have seen all year. Right up there with "Belle" and "Twelve Years a Slave." And, as this historical film makes clear, Harriet Tubman was not only a warrior. She was a prophet...
