<\/div>\n
1) MENORCA<\/strong>– 2017. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Claire, a suburban mother indulging in some good-natured hedonistic debauchery, receives word from her child that he is abandoning her as his mother.

5\/15\/20-\u00a0Poor reviews from critics and audiences as well but it was so stupid and funny at times\u00a0that I actually enjoyed it. TRDB.\u00a0<\/strong>Netflix.<\/p>\n

4) HARRIET-<\/strong> 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “This inspiring biopic recounts the life of Harriet Tubman, who’s born into servitude and becomes known as the “Moses of her people” for helping slaves escape bondage through the Underground Railroad. Later, she works as a spy for the Union Army.”<\/p>\n

10\/30\/19-\u00a0Fair reviews at best for this drama about Harriet Tubman. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5\/18\/20-\u00a0A really Hollywood version of a basically true story. I had trouble staying interested. TRDB.\u00a0<\/strong>Netflix.<\/p>\n
