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.

Chicago Reader

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

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 more you think about it in retrospect, [...] the more chances you have of getting madder. (Or it will probably make you feel better about being utterly ignorant about systemic racism; you choose.)

Rated: 2.5/5

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

Extremely entretaining and funny. Would recomend watching it with family, friends, or by yourself. The movie knows how to be funny while also knowing when to be serious. This movie made me and my mom feel good and thought me how to apreciate people alot more. Deserves all the awards it got. Really under rated.

This movie is fantastic. Without getting into it, the best parts of this movie has to be the use of contrasting the characters with their stereotypes and working around or against them to define their characters. Another one is how despite both the Doc and Tony are entirely opposites near the start of the movie, they learn to take their friendship slowly, appreciate ones lives and desires, and grow emotionally from growing fond of one another. Their friendship is one of the most fun things to see grow, and its great that they did it well. Only reason it isn't a 5 is some of the panning and landscape shots just feel too long. At least, long enough to where it pulls me out of the movie somewhat. Still though, an amazing watch, go for it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
