It is difficult to understand how anyone can watch this movie and dismiss it as historically inaccurate. This is not a documentary, and cynical viewers seem to know little about the art of drama. Would you dismiss Shakespeare's "Richard III" because it plays fast and loose with the record of this king's life? There are plenty of articles and reviews out there in which "Harriet" is "fact checked," and most of them find it solidly based in what is known about Harriet Tubman's life. The performance of Cynthia Erivo is reason enough to watch the film, the supporting players deliver as well, and the cinematography and production values are top-notch. This is movie making at its finest.
