Absolutely loved “Green Book.” Both Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali are outstanding and deserve the raves they are getting for their performances. It's because of them that you can overlook some of the predictable moments that take place in the movie . It's also unfortunate that controversy surrounds the film as far as the director and his behavior and the family members of Dr. Shirley, portrayed by Ali, not thinking the film gives an accurate portrayal of the real life relationship between the two primary characters, because the film itself is very good. The scenery, images, music and dialogue in the film definitely draw you in and make you feel that you are back in that time. It's definitely uncomfortable at times because of the racism and ignorance that Dr. Shirley experienced but it's also something that we cannot forget! This is a great film!
