The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks reviews

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks holds a 6.3/10 average from 114 TMDB ratings.

**You will know everything, but Henrietta Lacks!** It's a good biographical drama, but the only problem is its not what exactly the title says. If you believed to learn about Henrietta Lacks and went to see it, you might end disappointingly. Because she was the only topic of the story, not the actual story, except a few glimpses.

— Reno (6/10)

An African-American woman becomes an unwitting pioneer for medical breakthroughs when her cells are used to create the first immortal human cell line in the early 1950s.
