Review of Green Book (2018) by Jluis_001 — 18 Feb 2019

To a certain extent I don't think this film is a disappointment but I do think that maybe it has achieved an undeserved appreciation.

I say this because Green Book is a film that cannot help feeling shallow and condescending.

It's very predictable and that inevitably affects it way too much and the way it tries to sweeten up the narrative in a subject that shouldn't be treated in this way, it clearly ends up affecting the general functioning because it's unable to make what you're seeing feel more real despite being based on a true story.

It's not a bad film but definitely its strengths are Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen, not the rest.
