[Review] Green Book (9/10)


Title - Green Book
Studio - Universal Pictures
Starring Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali, Linda Cardellini, Nick Vallelonga
Writer - Nick Vallelonga, Brian Hayes Currie, Peter Farrelly
Director - Peter Farrelly
Release - 21 November 2018

This was a great movie that had a lot of heart, a lot of soul, and a lot of humour that I wasn't expecting. But with every comedic scene, there is a dramatic one to balance it out so that we the audience could learn something from it.

But also, this movie was nothing without Viggo Mortensen's brilliant portrayal. He was the heart and soul of the movie, and for a lot of times, he brought the comedy as well.

Mahershala Ali probably couldn't have done it without Mortensen, but Mortensen was even better because of Ali. The duo had great onscreen chemistry, each equally great in their own right but they never missed a beat when they came together for dialogue.

The way the story built up towards the end, I thought I would be more moved but then again, the way it ended was also a very nice, subdued touch. It was such a feel good ending that I would not mind watching this again soon.
