Netflix users are flocking to social media over 'brilliant' film recently added to the platform.
If you've already made your way through the Liam Neeson drama everyone had forgotten about but is actually 'one of the best films' people have seen in a longtime, then fear not, because Netflix have added another tear-jerker to its platform.

Written by Nick Vallelonga, Brian Hayes Currie and Peter Farrelly, and directed by Farrelly, the biographical comedy-drama is inspired by the true story of African-American pianist Don Shirley and Frank 'Tony Lip' Vallenlonga, an Italian-American actor and bouncer who was hired as Shirley's bodyguard and driver in the early 1960s.
The movie sees the pair tour across the Midwest and Deep South in 1962 and as well as documenting their physical journey, it reveals their path from a professional to more personal relationship, as an unlikely friendship forms.
Starring Lord of the Rings' Viggo Mortensen and Leave the World Behind's Mahershala Ali, the cast also includes the likes of Dead to Me star Linda Cardellini and The Super Mario Bros. Movie's Sebastian Maniscalco.
And while it was first released back in 2018, hype has seriously picked up around the film since it's been added to Netflix. Prepare to immediately add the film to your 'to watch' list:
Since the movie - titled Green Book - was released onto Netflix earlier this month, viewers have flooded to X (formerly Twitter) to weigh in.
