- [New] | Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Harriet may not be the biopic worthy of her status, but it does serve as a strong primer to this most fascinating of American icons.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A moving biopicture of Harriet Tubman as a courageous and charismatic freedom fighter.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: The brutality is ritualized, the ending no surprise, with only an inspired and counterintuitively quiet performance by Cynthia Erivo in the title role to elevate the proceedings.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …completing a kind of African American magical realism trilogy…[Lemmons’] latest film is more successful as history lesson than cinematic artistry.
- Roxana Hadadi @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: Cynthia Erivo makes a compelling Harriet Tubman in a slightly shallow biopic of the American hero
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Tubman’s heroics are excellent movie-movie fodder. This “origin story” embraces her towering legend and her profound symbolic power, finally sliding her into the epic American pop-culture narrative.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: We’re very much watching the origin story of a superhero guided by God’s hand. When Tubman speaks, every man stops to listen. That’s more than power. It’s respect.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: As it stands, there’s clearly a lot of sentimentality working as a way to smooth over some of the film’s rougher edges.
