Not Bad But Not Oscar Worthy

Rating: 6/10 (31 May 2019)

This was ok but it was also rather predictable. It ticked a lot of cheesy, stereotypical boxes. It's like there was a checklist to go through where everything had to be ticked off to complete the film. Racist cop, tick. White racist becomes best friend, tick etc. It's not to say it's a bad film, it's just not a great film. A quick internet search turns up information that says a lot of what's in the film isn't actually true anyway. It's worth reading the article "How 'Green Book' And The Hollywood Machine Swallowed Donald Shirley Whole" for more on this. 6/10 does it for me.
