Around the Web
A delightful blend of warm sentiments, inspired humor, and touches of racial conflict, carried by two monumental performances from Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali that steal both laughs and hearts.
Daniel Martínez Mantilla on Fotogramas The role is a game-changer for Mortensen, whose dramatic chops are a given but proves he's got a real flair for comedy that feels revelatory. He and Ali could take their own double act on the road. Thanks to the dream team of Mortensen and Ali, audiences will be cheering.
Peter Travers on Rolling Stone There's something about Green Book that feels primed to be a hit. It's a broadly entertaining crowdpleaser, anchored by two nuanced, deeply felt lead performances from Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali.
