Green Book (2018)

Director: Peter Farrelly. Cast: Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali, Linda Cardellini. 130 min. Rated PG-13. Biography/Drama.

This film will be accused of sentimentality, or even being "charming". Or being merely a road movie about the oddest of odd couples ... like all road movies. But the story of a racist Italian-American working as the chauffeur of an African-American classical pianist on a concert tour in the Deep South, is a movie brave enough to instigate difficult conversations - thanks to its superb screenplay, showing an impossible relationship confronting racist situation after racist situation after racist situation. Mortensen and Ali's unforgettable acting aside, you'll fall in love with the two characters, and want to watch them interacting forever.

- “Dignity always prevails.”
