I finally saw it this past Tuesday. I liked how the movie stayed focused on Harriet and her heroism, and yes she was fearless. I believe an opportunity was missed to use more minutes showing her commanding former enslaved troops into battle against confederates during the Civil War. I also noticed that the atrocities of slavery were down played a bit. Obviously, so white movie-goers would feel more comfortable while watching it.

Have not seen it yet. Might go this evening.
