Best Original Screenplay

- quite a controversial pick for Best Picture

Viggo Mortenson seems to pick roles that are always watchable. This movie is a great laugh, not to get to serious about it as a work of art.

The film is entertaining and wrung a few tears; not all entertainment is wholesome.
The scenery and sound track both are candy. The two leads do wonders with cardboard characters.
On the positive side, many things in the movie are factual.
Don Shirley, often called doctor because of two honorary degrees, brought his classical chops to popular music. The Lip character likens him to Liberace; that's not far off. He sold his music mostly as jazz, 'The Water Boy' his biggest commercial hit.
It seems only one number performed by Shirley is included in the soundtrack, 'The Lonesome Road'; others from his repertoire are performed by Kris Bowers, who has done other movie work.

Really very good.
A white man is paid to drive a black concert pianist around the deep south in the early 60s. Everyone learns something.
It's really cool. Great direction, really strong acting.
Recommend.

Well written dialogue, tightly acerbic and often funny. Strong performances from Ali and Mortensen as an initially polar opposite odd couple urged by circumstances to walk in each other's shoes.
Unlike most tepid road trip movies, this one's unusually entertaining.

If there were more than five stars to give, I would give it more! This has a blanket listing as a "comedy." Yes, it is charming, and has some humor. But it is so much more. Serious matter between two oh, so different friends. I recommend and again recommend Green Book.

This movie is well worth watching. Solidly delivering the inspiring, entertaining true story of the birth of the 50+ year friendship of 2 unlikely men. Set against the backdrop of the early 60's cultural climate it gets you seeing 2 perspectives coming to appreciation of each other.

Excellent from start to finish! Of course there are cliches ... in a film of this nature and subject matter how could there not be? Still, the extraordinary writing and stellar performances overpower those little hash marks. Plus the story did not pander to the lowest common denominator of any race. Watched it twice in one day!! Highly, highly recommended.

Italian American bouncer becomes a chauffeur of an eight-week concert tour of a talented, gifted, African American classical musician through the Midwest and deep South in the 1960's. In that journey they learn about each other, they support each other and they become friends. A relationship which grows between the educated and fine and the passionate and brute. Empathy. Inclusion. Friendship. Family. Love.
