Excellent screen-writing makes a politically correct buddy film

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2019)

This film revolves around the social hierarchy of the 1960s, where we follow protagonist Dr. Shirley played by Mahershala Ali. Viggo Mortensen is his personal driver for his piano tour down south.
There is a very well-made screenplay, complemented brilliantly by the excellent performances by Ali and Mortensen. I believe that Mortensen nailed it particularly as the bouncer type, and I would have loved to see him win the academy award for best actor in a leading role rather than seeing Ali win again for supporting.
I must say that the script is very PC but it is still a great buddy film that I can highly recommended - a life-affirming film with a great message.
