What to Know

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.

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.

Priyan B Underrated movie 8/10 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Regal R 75/100 - an enjoyable movie thanks to the writers who made sure to keep it light. brevity and levity allowed this story to excel in a genre where most films crash and burn. apparently there was some drama regarding the accuracy and authenticity of the story so there were some point taken off due to those reasons, and because there were some scenarios where the producers tried to make the movie culturally hip and relevant. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Kevin M Incredibly moving film, with an absolutely brilliant performance by Viggo Mortensen.
