This gave me a warm, fuzzy glow inside, and I really liked the cast, so I don't really want to ruminate on its obvious flaws. I need to check out some of Don Shirley's music. And Tony Lip was real, and ended up playing Carmine Lupertazzi in the Sopranos? Sweet.

Had to check this out after learning Peter Farrelly won an Oscar for it. Doesn't at all feel like those crude, raunchy comedies the Farrelly brothers usually do and I mean that in a good way. Parts of it are a bit predictable towards the last twenty minutes, but I was surprised by how much I liked this. The two leads are stellar and believable and the story has a good amount of emotion in it. It's funny, heartfelt, genuine, and entertaining. Definitely worth watching.

Enjoyable enough, primarily because of Ali and Viggo's chemistry, but essentially a bunch of bullshit. In the end, racism is 'healed', the whites are forgiven as saviors, and we even get to see the sophisticated black gay man play that funky 'black' music we want. Hallelujah, balance is restored!

Stellar performances from Mortensen and Ali keep GREEN BOOK afloat, but otherwise the film doesn't distinguish itself from the many self-congratulatory racial parables that came before it. Its presentation strains credulity, and results in a film that's more like a story about a beloved relative told through the rosiest lens imaginable. I couldn't help but wonder how different this story would be if told from the perspective of Ali's character.

Its accuracy can be debated, and some might complain about a white savior trope, but this ignores the nature of the double sided relationship depicted, wherein both the main characters help each other. It doesn't really matter to me though, because I firmly believe that the world could use more stories of black and white people getting along.

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It was a surprise to see Viggo Mortensen in this role and he was quite good. The story apparently based on true events was engaging, surprising and suspenseful. Excellent well-developed characters. Good acting all around. Gool pacing and music. Engaging dialog. Well worth watching.

I generally find the idea of an Oscar-bait racial politics film about as appealing as having my ballsack deep tissue massaged by fishhooks these days (cut to two months ago - Wife: “Hey do you want to watch BlacKKKlansman?” Me: “Sure don’t!”), but what can I say, this was actually a pretty nice film that left me with a pretty nice feeling.

It's an incredibly fun buddy travel movie that dialogues with racism in the 1960s South. It is an enjoyable time and showcases some horrible practices. But it ends up being a story more focused on Tony Vallelonga than Don Shirley, the really interesting character who is actually experiencing the beatings and blatant racism.

While being thoroughly likeable, I'm not quite sure "Green Book" ever dares to be dangerous enough to risk its classification as a "nice" movie. Most scenarios are handled with a tidiness that doesn't exactly underscore the viciousness and emotional impact of these injustices. Still, the leads are undeniable and there's nothing wrong with a bit of levity for the holiday season. A good, if formulaic ride.

Velvet Crowe | 62 66th |
The film is fine as a buddy travel thing because Ali and Mortensen's chemistry is fun but the film falls into awful, repetitive plot loops that got incredibly tiring. Someone acts racist, Tony gets upset, and the two end up getting closer together through this act of prejudice. The film attempts to bring up interesting ideas about racial identity and relationships, but we're given the worst possible perspective of this and it ends up being daft a lot of the time.

ribcage | 77 71st |
as a casual drama it's paced well, hits its notes as precisely as Shirley on his piano, and by being safe it becomes an easily rewatchable film.the treat is the electric chemistry between Ali and Mortenson. Both give stunning,consistent performances,bounce off each other so well I began to imagine, and desperately yearn for a serious of Ali-Mortenson buddy movies. I want so much more of these two together. I'm vaguely imagining a whole series of pairings, like a new, dryer Pryor-Wilder

A classic by the books drama, it doesn't do much except scratch a surface. It does it alright, but it's not particularly memorable. Mortensen is excellent as always - the type of actor who truly disappears in his roles.

For whatever reason, this fairly simple-minded film won me over. Despite the formulaic story and caricature-like elements, the strength of the film is the chemistry of the leads. And it’s crazy entertaining. I guess some are accusing it of “white saviorism,” but it pales in this respect in comparison to something like The Blind Side. A perfectly adequate mainstream film. Perhaps my favorite crowd pleaser of the year

I wanted to hate this after all the Oscar bait claims but in the end the two leads, comedy, and well-told version of an admittedly massively formulaic story make it a really good watch. And other than a couple of seriously bullshit scenes, the racial element is, as stated by other users, nowhere near as bad as something like The Blind Side. Ali deserved his second statue - his performance is so different from anything I’ve seen him in previously, yet he crushes it as much as ever. BP win bs

Enjoyable, crowd-pleasing racial buddy film feels curiously old-fashioned (with more than a whiff of DRIVING MISS DAISY about it); you could plug this into a festival of 80s 'prestige' pictures and no-one would bat an eye. Blandly familiar at times (and not as probing as it should be), film still works as a character piece thanks to Mortensen and Ali's terrific performances and easy chemistry. Farrelly shows no great shakes as a dramatic director, but keeps things humming along smoothly.

The word that first comes to mind with this movie is "safe". It takes literally no chances. This makes it a cozy, charming roadtrip movie, but also kind of weightless and dated. Viggo and Ali are a great duo. The obvious approach here should have been to make Don Shirley the main character. The filmmaking is adequate, but not noteworthy in any sense. The score is a little too intrusive, begging you for an emotional response. Probably would've liked it more had it not won Oscars. Ugh.

Other than the class dynamics being flipped, there is really nothing here that isn't completely expected based on the simple premise of "black and white guy become unlikely friends in 1960s south." But the story is undeniably cute and the actors develop a truly wonderful chemistry together.

Corbad | 70 54th |
Mortensen and Ali have great chemistry and their characters provide ample opportunities for humour and heart-warming. But the film also attempts to speak on half a dozen social issues, and at this it fails spectacularly. Racism, homophobia, sexism, violence, classismit's all brought up, and then promptly dismissed. The wrong protagonist is the avatar of its problems; Tony is a great supporting character but lacks the dynamic arc one could have seen belonging to Dr. Shirley.

While it is impeccably acted by Mortensen and Ali, Green Book fails to go much beyond the back-patting of other post-racial films -- and due to current cultural context, it feels out-of-touch and unnecessary.

Politically, this film is twenty years late at best and there are some scenes that make you go "Why?". On the other hand, both Ali and Mortensen are wonderful and thanks to them it becomes one of the most pleasurable movies of the year. The script is amazing when it wants to be light-hearted, problematic otherwise. But overall, this is a solid movie.

It seems like every year we need a film to boycott and I'm not here for it. I could see the arguments made for Three Billboards, but this is a character-driven comedy that evenly focuses on both characters. They're each other's saviors. Ali exudes class like few others. Mortensen is a stereotype that the film is aware of and has fun with. Both feel like well-developed characters. I didn't need this to get more dangerous. Sometimes films can just make us happy.

Basically what our divided society needs right now. Less race-baiting, less hate and less differences. Some may call it simple, but seeing two different persons become friends by focusing on what unites them instead of focusing on minuscule and/or trifle differences is the ONLY way to become better.

In general it doesn't bring anything fresh to familiar themes. Two people go on the road together, one is racist, the other has issues with their identity, but they bond and things change. I mean, it works because there's heart in the script and chemistry between the leads. However, I've been conditioned to think a character like Tony Lip will eventually be abusive to his family and yet this film doesn't resort to making him worse just for the sake of redemption. It's a nice little touch.

Why do so many woke types have problems w/ this film? I'm guessing that although Doc Shirley is unquestionably a noble figure, they'd argue the white guy gets the laughs & to frequently play hero? Who the hell knows but except for some implausible moments (white guy's anachronistic acceptance of more than blackness), this is a compelling & entertaining rare look at both race AND class. So maybe it's that the woke crowd has difficulty w/ anything suggesting race isn't far more important

A fun and almost kinda pleasant film that has about 1/10 to say about racism as it thinks it does. But the two lead performances and their chemistry makes for a pretty good time, all things considered. It's just weird to see a movie in 2018 that has the mentality and social conscience of 1988.

A mediocre movie elevated by Viggo and Mahershala's chemistry and performances. The controversy around it unfortunately sours it and the overall theme of white racist guy redeems himself and teaches a black guy about black culture is shockingly tone deaf and self congratulating.

This is a feel-good movie and that's actually a good thing. The performances by the two leads is impressive and the dialogues/screenplay is enjoyable. The closest parallel to this movie is a 2011 French movie named The Intouchables. The friendship also reminded me of the one between Andy and Red in Shawshank Redemption. It is not a wham-bam teenager movie but a polished product meant for the discerning movie watcher.

VinegarBob | 65 43rd |
A feelgood movie about race relations in America in the early sixties will likely come off as hokey and cliched, and for the most part that's just what this film does. It's carried by the two central performances though, which while not being totally realistic and tending towards stereotypes - as do most of the supporting characters - are very engaging. The film ticks along in a predictable way and uses overly broad strokes to get it's point across but it does so well enough to be entertaining.

Pretty good movie about a white guy teaching a black guy about fried chicken. Its core message about humans being individuals who are more than just the color of their skin, their cultural background, etc. may be unoriginal, but important nonetheless (even though some seem to question its cultural importance in light of its recent trophy), especially in a time where identity politics are as prevalent. Let's not forget, the Academy is 6.000 people. That's a fifth of the 1% of the 1%. #fürlelite

The first thirty and last fifteen minutes flatly don’t work. The stuff inbetween, for all its many faults, works simply because seeing people stand up for the right thing and seeing racists get their comeuppance is never an unagreeable thing to watch. A little shoddy and often way too on-the nose, but it’s affable enough, and Ali and Mortensen are both excellent.

The criticisms about its racial politics are mostly valid, and it never really explores the problems it raises beyond the superficial, but as a predictable middlebrow character driven crowd pleaser it's superior to most recent Hollywood fare thanks to Mortensen and Mahershala, who really have strong chemistry as the stereotypical odd couple. They are playing types, but they breathe sufficient charisma and life into them, and their banter is quite humorous.

The film's attempts to address racial issues are flimsy, formulaic, and awkward, but when it focuses on the positively hilarious and often heartwarming odd couple dynamic of the crass but warm blue-collar Tony and the classy yet aloof Dr. Shirley, it succeeds (see the chicken-eating, letter-writing), though considering Tony's relatively flat arc, the latter should've been the lead (see his speech on identity in the rain and hints of a troubled backstory that receive no further treatment).

It may not be a Best Picture-worthy film but it's still very good. While there is controversy around this film, as a narrative it is done very well and is both interesting and enjoyable. It is specially made so by being light-hearted and at times comedic, among all the drama. Both lead performances are great, even though it's polar opposites, and Mahershala Ali definitely earned his Oscar; playing the role with subtle brilliance.

If you're willing to ignore the white savior overtones, historical inaccuracies, and accept that it wants to be more of a buddy film than a societal statement there's a good movie to be found here. Ali and Mortensen have a terrific chemistry; despite predicting all the music swelling and heart string pulling moments it still works. If you're looking for something deeper or a legitimate Don Shirley biopic you'll be disappointed. But there's nothing wrong with a feel good movie every now and then.

Good. I haven't seen anything of Viggo's work yet apart from the LOTR trilogy, so I was blown away by how well he performed here. Definitely going to watch more from him. Besides that I loved this story. A typical road movie where it isn't about the destinations but always about the journey. If you've got half an hour to spare, listen to Don Shirley's improvisations based on the story of 'Orpheus in the Underworld' that's mentioned in this film. It's wonderful!

The biggest problem with Green Book is that the screenwriter rather narcissistically assumes the audience gives a shit about the Vallelonga family when I would have much rather seen just a straight biopic of Dr. Shirley (with Mahershala Ali still playing him, because he's great).

A feel good movie about racism? What a terrible idea. Ali is, by far, the best thing about this film, his presence offering a quiet dignity in the midst of the confusing and antagonistic world around him. Ironically, while the film is meant to engender pity for Shirley as he plies his talents in adverse circumstances, the film does the very same thing to Ali the actor, as we watch him having to use his talents in this mess of a film. This film is a complete contradiction.

Full disclosure: I am white and I initially thought this movie was... okay, kinda. I could see some of the problematic shit, not even close to all, mind you, but some. Ultimately though, despite some good performances, this is a movie that's basically made to cater to white people and make us feel good about "not all white people" and shit. I mean, it has a fucking scene where a white dude teaches a black dude how to eat fried chicken, for fuck's sake, which is just some condescending bullshit.

Somewhat effective and vaguely entertaining. Viggo's 'bada-bing bada-boom' performance is actually the highlight, particular as he's given the stronger moments in the otherwise malnourished script. Ali's much praised performance underwhelmed, given the limitations of such a stock stereotype, and that's one of the many stale aspects of this otherwise safe and earnest 'and they remained friends until they died' "true" story. Another Best Comedy Picture Golden Globe winner that's clearly a drama.

"Racism through the White Gaze," A film about racism made by White people, centered on a White protagonist and designed to avoid making White people feel bad about racism in any possible way. Driving Miss Daisy came out almost 30 years ago, I thought Hollywood was done with this type of storytelling. How, in the same year that Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman and the Hate U Give came out, is such a misguided and outdated film winning so many awards? ...Mahershala Ali was really good though.

This feels like it was made about 20 years too late to say anything new or worthwhile about race relations, but taken on its own it is alright. Ali and Mortensen are good in their roles, but the writing never quite rises to the level of their performances, and some of the larger emotional moments misfired entirely for me.

I have a weak spot for sweet women with deep affection for their man. Man, that Linda Cardellini is charming! Biased thoughts aside, I really enjoyed watching this. The tempo, the chemistry between the leads, their performances, the story, pretty much everything worked for me. *Very Good

A very watchable film. Reminds me of Les Intouchables. Ali & Viggo are truly above the what is really an average script (which is a great, great shame, imagine possibilites!). Viggo's performance was a bit less convicing though, a bit too cliche and washed out from countless mob films. Consequently it means it's great to watch him though. I expected more from this film, especially themes originating from Docs POV. This is a simple, charming movie, made to be liked by crowds.

3 points: I dont expect ONE story to cover the entirety of the discussion on race (or any other issue). (2) I go to the cinema to be entertained, not lectured to. (3) I WANT my feelings to be "manipulated", rather than simply re-enforcing my current world view. To that end, GB ticked those boxes wonderfully; inspired casting, brilliant acting, a warm, funny script. Sure, its Trains Planes and Automobiles without the Trains and Planes, and a few racial issues thrown in, but I loved every second.

a.k.a. "Driving Dr. Shirley". Actually, I just saw "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", and this was a holiday buddy road movie that had richer, more believable characters, more touching, and even funnier! From the writer/director of "Dumb and Dumber", "Kingpin", and "There's Something About Mary"...I had no idea he had this in him! Hope it wins all the awards! At the moment it's 3rd favourite for the Best Picture Oscar. I thought it was better than "A Star is Born". Certainly it was funnier!

Such a very, very nice movie. I guess Peter is the lame Farrelly. Didn't know there was one. No kidding, it was nice. Funny, and some concern for racism in there too.

It doesn't cover new ground, and it's all a little simplistic, but I thought this film was nice enough. It thankfully wasn't as on-the-nose as BlacKkKlansman (2018), but we still all know why this movie is coming out now. It's certainly elevated by the great performances from both Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. It had some nice scenes and it's always good to remember how things were not all that long ago, so yeah, it was decent.

I really enjoyed this one. When I laughed it was with such a heartfelt feeling and awkwardness on the same time. I loved Mortensen in this role - he convinced me and so did their relationship. This was more than just "Good". *Very good.

Sappy and a little cliche, but fantastic chemistry between the leads and much funnier than expected. Controversy aside, it was enjoyable but with a generic plot that it ultimately forgettable.

My favorite movie of the year so far, which isn't saying much. A slow-moving but charming feel-good story loosely based off a real story. Did it deserve all the accolades and Academy Awards it got? Probably not. Was there anything new or risky in this? No. But it was still enjoyable and worth the RedBox rental.

Amazing acting in a funny, film filled with heart. The beginning is a little unevenly paced with a "been here, felt these emotions" going through the motions movie, but once the two main characters barely like each, the relationship and the movie grows.

Caricature-level characters and a heavy handedness somehow don't hamper my enjoyment of this movie too much. Not as good as I expected for being in the movie theater for like 6 months, but worth your time

eski moda anlatım değil ama eski kafa anlayış ciddi bir problem. "ırkçı ama *iyi insan*" tavrı mavra için bile suyunu bırakmışken karakter arkında kefarete dair tek bir şey olmayan ana karakter ve asıl değişimi geçiren yardımcı karakter üzerinden iç ısıtma telaşıyla hikayeye yaklaşma daha çok sinir hoplatıyor. zaten sabun köpüğü bir iş de olunca mortensen ile ali'ye ve onların performanslarına yazık oluyor.

It's a very typical Hollywood adaptation, filled with tropes and clichés. Many times I was rolling my eyes because characters or scenes play out exactly like they play out like most Hollywood biopics of this type. I also think it promotes sexism in some ways, which is stupid in a film about racism. Despite these big shortcomings, it is a feel good film that somehow by the end still worked for me. I think in the end the film is mostly about compassion, the world could definitely use more of that

I mean it has some snappy dialogue, fun scenes, touching moments, a worthwhile story to tell and great acting, but it also has a plot so formulaic it hurts; right down to them meeting a nice police officer because #notallcops And for the first half of the movie Tony is superannoying, which s unsurprising since he's a racist, uneducated dumbass, but actuallt so is Doctor Shirley who has been written like a mix between Henry Higgins and Spock. At the end I felt uplifted, but also manipulated.

Do you want a movie that plays the whole race thing completely safe without any original ideas? Here you go! While the movie is not bad on its own, none of the performances are worth mentioning as is anything else in this movie. I hope you like "Black people like fried chicken jokes"...

It's a "Buddy film" that's worth watching. Both the main characters have extreme personalities that created a dynamic onscreen pairing that's very entertaining.

The fantastic acting from both leads elevates the surroundings. The script is predictable and the film doesn't do anything new. Edit: Lowered score by 15 points. Gets worse upon further reflection. I thought the film industry had moved past such facile, faux-racial films but I guess not.

I love how they didnt go to agitative & demagogery spot. Its not a whining movie but its not a fully celebrating either. Its realistic enough and romantic enough. Top notch acting and screen views. I loved it. Simple buy yet impactfull. There aint too much "high & power" moments in it. Its more settled and subdued. Which works so fine with the characters. Yes its a bit "back patting" movie. And looks pinky to the stuff but its message its right there. It aint have to be brutal all the time.

P. Farrelly, Green Book'ın senaryosunu eline alıp filmi çekmeye başladıktan sonra hikayenin derinliğinin olmadığını anlayıp sırtını Mahershala Ali ve Mortensen'a dayayarak diyaloglara ağırlık vermiş ve güzel, tarafsız bir renk paletine sahip olarak filmini kurtarmayı başarmış. Green Book izleyicisini sıkmıyor, hatta zamanın nasıl geçtiğini fark ettirmeyerek sinematografisi ile birlikte sizi kendisine çekmeyi başarıyor.

Charming heartwarming movie. The beginning doesn't seem to make any sense. My expectations may have been different if I knew it was more of a comedy going into the theater. I never worried about the characters' safety which really nullified the surface level presentation of racism. Loved the hug at the end. Fat Aragorn. Fav scene: fried chicken.

An interesting, though safe, road trip movie that doesn't repeat itself too much. The two leads carry the movie, with great charisma and believable in their delivery. The writing, however, was not so believable.

Great acting & dialogue, peppered with stirring lessons on human relations. I'm amazed by movies that begin with trivial subjects (like the protagonist's piano concert tour, what's so exciting about it?) and end with me glued on screen till the last credit flickers out. Green Book picks on our propensity to prejudge anyone & anything, and my stance prior to viewing it is an embarrassing example. My SCORING: 99-96=Great; 95-90=Very good; 89-85=Good; 84-80=So-so; 79-70=Boring; Below 70=Forget it.

I was conflicted about this movie, since I've read that the family of the person this is based on wasn't too pleased. That made me want to give it a low rating, but on the other hand, I truly enjoyed the film. In the end, I decided to rate it for its inherent merits, without taking into account the real story it's supposedly based on.
