Harriet

 

Harriet 2019

·       Director: Kasi Lemmons

·       Cast: Cynthia Erivo, Janelle Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr, Joe Alwyn, Clark Peters, Henry Hunter Hall

·       Why? The subject

·       Seen: 26 August 2025      

       Harriet Tubman, born a slave, becomes one of the giants in emancipation history. Leader of the Underground Railroad, spy, soldier.

       It’s an important film for those who don’t know about Tubman. As a film, though, it doesn’t really grip me like it should. It could have been so much deeper, so much broader.
