Harriet (2019)
Directed by Kasi Lemmons this film based on real events stars Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr. and Joe Alwyn. A young woman escapes from slavery and then helps rescue others.
No doubt about it Harriet Tubman is an inspirational individual who deserves to have her story told but this film does not do the job in my opinion. What I find most distasteful about the film is the deserve to take away human bravery and instead credit the supernatural. If you can get part the Jesus parts this is a serviceable biopic at best.
2/5
