critics consensus

Green Book takes audiences on an excessively smooth ride through bumpy subject matter, although Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen's performances add necessary depth. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

Dr. Don Shirley is a world-class African-American pianist who's about to embark on a concert tour in the Deep South in 1962. In need of a driver and protection, Shirley recruits Tony Lip, a tough-talking bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx. Despite their differences, the two men soon develop an unexpected bond while confronting racism and danger in an era of segregation.

    This film proves why movies can be so powerful with a touching, poignant and some times funny story of opposites attract. Enjoyed every moment although it isn't always easy to watch. Mortenson and Ali shine and there are strong supporting roles as well. A great way to start off the new year. 01/01/2020

    While it may feel to lighthearted or safe for play there's no denying the impact Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali's chemistry and comradery guides this film. Green Book is beautifully directed and exceptional in their performances that's meaningful and heartwarming 4.1/5

    Interesting film and character study. Did the film deserve best picture at the Oscars? Probably not, but we all know the Oscars don't get the best picture correct. The film contains great acting and filmmaking, don't let my thought of best picture deter you from what is still a great film. It is still very relevant and topical for our generation as racism still exists, even if it is more behind closed doors. Mortensen maintains the character actor model from his early days and rewards the viewer with a character who grows over the course of the film. Ali is amazing as always and deserves bigger roles, he continues to shine as the support, even though he has a central presence like Washington. 24/05/2019
