people are fantastic
I got a feeling that both cynthia erivo and joe alwyn play the same characters in every movie they’re in.

Marie did not deserve that and that scene actually hurt my heart bad.
I really enjoyed this film and the cinematography. Cynthia’s singing is always gonna do it for me especially the credits song. Some scenes were definitely Hollywood like material but I really did enjoy this movie and how it shows history throughout the movie .

I wasn’t expecting much from this movie but the performance from Cynthia Erivo elevated it to a different level. Before watching this movie I knew nothing about Harriet Tubman but after seeing it I need to learn more. What a strong and inspiring woman. She is THE boss and this movie perfectly portrays her as such.
