Worthy of it's Best Picture Award

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2019)

Green Book is the greatest film to hit theaters in 2018, period. From the excellent performances of Mahershala Ali and Viggo Morrison to the witty and hilarious dialogue of Nick Vallelonga and Peter Farrely, Green Book will not disappoint. At it's core is an archetypal journey about friendship, love, and understanding. Instead of just a surface level story, Green Book has the rare ability to go below the surface with a cleverly hidden hero's journey and a role reversal that sets it apart from most movies on the subject of race. Rather than a typical "white hero" storyline, Green Book surpasses race altogether, putting forth a narrative of understanding and an exceptional comment on the human condition.
