I think this is a "must see" movie for several reasons. Foremost, I think we are better people when we fill our lives with examples of great people. Harriet Tubman is hands above one of those people and I think this movie should be seen in every high school. It is inspiring. This is also a really well made production: writing, directing, production value and cinematography - it is award worthy. It is a compelling drama. It is also well performed. I'm embarrassed to say I had never heard or Cynthia Erivo, but it was obvious, from the moment she appears on screen, that she is a powerful talent. I was not surprised to discover that she comes to us via the theatre, having won accolades for her acting and musical talent (a Tony, a Grammy and an Emmy -3/4 of the way to an EGOT). The supporting cast is nothing to sneeze at, either, it is littered with stars and seasoned character actors. Do yourself a favour - see this movie. I give this film a 9 (important) out of 10.
