Harriet

« La réalisation est élégante, mais empesée; la musique est si envahissante qu'elle tue l'émotion; enfin, le ton hagiographique tend à faire de Taubman une héroïne désincarnée et inaccessible. »

« Toronto Film Festival 2019: We've waited too long for a Tubman movie (and for Lemmons to return to the director's chair) but this one disappoints. »

« Cynthia Erivo plays the escaped slave Harriet Tubman with a mournful fury, but the rest of Kasi Lemmons' biopic is more dutiful than inspired. »

« (...) its heavy bias toward action scenes leaves too little room for character study. »

« (...) while also blending in aspects that are purely fictitious or can be debated as -- all you have is a case for why reading a book is more worth your time. »

« [W]ith the stylistic flourishes and over-dramatized moments that are typical of a more routine cinematic experiences, the film weighs itself down to an unfortunate degree that hampers pieces of the entire movie. »
