TIFF19: Broadway star Cynthia Erivo arrives as a screen actress, Oscars2020 contender in 'Harriet'
, in which Erivo stars as the most famous conductor of the 'Underground Railroad.' The film, which was written by Lemmons and, and which Focus Features will release on Nov. 1, was warmly received by the public at Roy Thomson Hall, but less enthusiastically greeted by critics who saw it the next day and found it a bit too hagiographic and reverent .
However, the one thing everyone seems to agree about is that Erivo does her part as well as anyone could. We meet Tubman as a slave on a family plantation in Maryland, back when she was known as 'Minty,' having been born Araminta Ross.
