great study of humanity

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2018)

This film is the combination of 42, Hidden Figures, and Bohemian Rhapsody, and captures almost every good thing those films gave us. Dr. Shirley is played impeccably by Mahershala Ali, whose lonely poise is heartbreaking to watch. Viggo Mortenson captures the essence of 1960s New York City in his blundering innocence and assumptions of the world around him. Beautifully shot and directed, the movie is more than an unexpected friendship, it is one of discovery of the other sides of America.
