The critics are already talking about this extraordinary biopic, but it isn't good. Some are saying Harriet is “typical” and “cliche” while others are deeming it as something that would make Tubman herself proud.

Either way, there's no denying that Harriet Tubman's story is one to be told over and over again. She shaped American History and deserves to live on forever because of that.

As one of America's greatest female heroes, we can only hope that they did her justice with this major motion picture. From the sound of the Harriet Tubman movie quotes, I think there's a lot to take away from the film.

Since the Harriet movie is rated PG-13, I think it could possibly be one to take children to for educational purposes. While I can't personally recommend this film for children, it is definitely something older children/teens could see at the parent's discretion.
