A movie with the goal of appealing to everyone somehow manages to be so damn unlikeable and easy to hate. Could it be the manipulative ass score?

Saw this in the same theatre in Minnesota that I saw Blackkklansman in…. Almost entirely based in lies, notions of misconstruing blackness, in addition to plain ole' white savior bullshit. Green Book is embarrassing.

Sean Porter's DP work is gorgeous. Mahershala Ali offers a universe of emotion via a shift in posture, a lowering of the head.
