Its been a grey wet and cool day, the sort of day that can leave you feeling winter sad. I put this film on a couple of hours ago, just something to do, killing time before bed

Oh it was such a good film, basically a classical pianist and his driver. All I will say is that it engrossed me all through and I could feel my winter mood lift during the second half, what a lovely way to end the day. It was on amazon prime and I would give it 10/10

I saw this at the cinema. Any body new to it, is in for a treat. The opening scenes are great.

Is it on Netflix? I just watched a trailer and would love to watch it

Oh yes, do try to see it. I loved it. The characters are brilliant and the story absorbing.

I loved this film. Mahershali Ali who plays the part of the pianist, has such presence. I'd happily watch it a second time!

I do agree, craftyone. It's a lovely film.
We would also highly recommend.

I watched this this afternoon. What a wonderful film, I loved the story, the characters, the music and the cars. It thoroughly deserved the Oscar for best picture. It’s on Amazon Prime Tanith.

I don’t have Amazon Prime unfortunately.

Thank you so much.
I have just watched and throughly enjoyed The green book.
Lovely to see the old photographs at end of the film.
