A lot of people are going to like Green Book. It’s a good holiday movie, ideally suited for seeing with family members who might need a little prodding to be open minded; it makes its obvious case for tolerance and friendship, then bows and leaves. Sure, it’s got some substantial problems, and it elides a lot of racial issues and nuances in order to sell a feel-good story. It probably wouldn’t have flown in the Obama era. But in the Trump era? Maybe we should take what we can get. by Ned Lannamann
