“Oscar season is fully underway as thereu0026#39;s nearly a new film every week that is attempting to garner enough praise to warrant awards consideration. Harrietu0026#39;s marketing campaign was less than stellar, and without a lot of buzz, I figured it was going to be a throwaway period piece about an iconic American hero. Luckily, Cynthia Ervo and a great ensemble help put this fill over the mediocre edge and instead boast a crowd-pleaser of a film. One that audiences seem to be on board with, and rightfully so. Itu0026#39;s certainly not re-inventing the biopic formula, but itu0026#39;s undeniably engaging.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e7.0/10”
