Critics Consensus

Green Book takes audiences on an excessively smooth ride through bumpy subject matter, although Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen's performances add necessary depth.

"Green Book" is just awesome! Loved how it brings together two totally different dudes on a road trip adventure through the South. Viggo and Mahershala totally killed it with their performances. It's funny, heartwarming, and tackles some real-life stuff too. Definitely a feel-good flick worth checking out!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Really really great movie. Important message with a feel good twist. Love that it one an oscar and I would watch it again and again, but quite surprised it did win it. There is a slight air of GCSSE english project about it. But that said the acting is great.

Yet Farrelly and his cast deliver the cliches with such sincerity and good cheer that the film won me over anyway.

An enthusiastic and well-intentioned but ultimately clichéd approach is abundantly evident in the final product.

Rated: 2.5/4

Claudia Puig

The Asahi Shimbun GLOBE (Japan)

Green Book is a glib, caricatured and insensitive movie that reduces an enduring, dangerous societal problem to a calculated fable with a happy ending. [Full review in Japanese]

Rated: 1.5/4

The score and editing are not memorable at all, with some scenes just feeling out of place, and a soundtrack that feels too on the nose at times.

Rated: C-

Puesta en Escena (AR)

Green Book tells the story of the friendship between the renowned pianist and composer Don Shirley, and his driver and bodyguard Tony “Lip” Vallelonga in the sixties. The different cultures and social classes will be the main focus of the action.

Rated: 8/10

Awards Daily

An enjoyable buddy flick with strong performances from Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen, it’s a shame the plot ends up being so passé – as well intentioned and entertaining as it is.
