Nailed it

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2019)

I really have nothing but praise for the Green Book.
The acting is top notch. Mortenson and Ali nailed all the nuances of their characters. The development of their friendship is at the heart of this movie and without their efforts this movie couldn't be this great.
The transitions of scenes are also perfect. Every scene moves the plot forward and feels genuine. Keeping momentum is very difficult. I think why it worked is that they kept the storytelling simple but not too simple to the point of boredom. And also not too ambitious to the point you'll lose interest because it gets convoluted.
The scenery was beautiful. The 1960s is visually stunning to see and also compounded to the surreal feel when underneath that beauty lies the ugliness of racism.
To me it's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
