Charming and enjoyable from beginning to end

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2019)

So, I've seen plenty of people being disappointed with this movie, claiming it doesn't handle the "racial issues" in a serious way.
Perhaps, that's part of the reason why I really enjoyed it. Not every movie about racial issues need to be like 12 Years A Slave or American History X. A more light-hearted story could be equally effective to deliver its message.
However, what made me love this movie the most comes down to the fantastic performances by both Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali who share great chemistry in every scene they're in. Something about their interaction with each other strikes me so sincerely. They develop nicely throughout the story as they face so many hardships together and the ending left a small tear in my eye.
I'm not sure if Green Book will win the "Best Original Screenplay" category at the Oscars as I feel the competition is very strong (especially with "The Favourite" being in there), but I really feel like it deserved its nomination and the dialogue between Vallelonga and Shirley really brought out the best from their characters in a humorous way. The audience at my cinema had plenty of big laughs throughout the movie.
For the technical side of things, this movie isn't that special; cinematography, editing, costumes, sets are all fine but nothing outstanding. But it doesn't matter too much as the script and acting performances is really what should be enjoyed in this one.
If you get a chance to see it, make sure you do! It's really entertaining from start to end!
