Great performances

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2019)

It's a handsomely made and watchable picture and there is a real warmth in Ali and Mortensen's great performances. I am not sure if deserved a nomination for Best Film but it's two actors undoubtedly deserved it. The magic of screen chemistry is once again showcased as Ali and Mortensen bring out the best in each other and their respective characters. It is a film with a solid script and a must see this year. It has a warm, congenially progressive vibe and a wonderfully street line of humor. It is both a joyous and sorrowful film, capturing the sense of an unlikely friendship, and the sadness from watching the effects of deeply ingrained racism. "Green Book" has a message that perhaps seems obvious, but is necessary taking into account the time in which we live. nikisreviews.gr
