Deceptive advertising. The artwork makes you think it's two families caring for children of other ethnicities, but the real plot centers on a custody battle between two grandparents over their grandchild. Some of the conflict centers (or…

I generously give Black or White a rating of 3 stars. Octavia Spencer & Kevin Costner saved this movie from a minus rating, in my opinion. The final outcome lacked credibility. Why would a judge give custody privileges of a biracial grand…

Love Octavia S. she is so versatile, I want to see her more often. Kevin C portrayed a grieving man, deeply flawed because of his drinking (very well played) & his deep seated attitudes - I believed his character. I felt he was a…

This inspired by a true story family saga should be an epic tear jerker but somehow spared viewers most of the sad drama when the film began with a calamity that abruptly turned a man to be a lonely widow to raise a preteen granddaughter…

Outstanding movie with outstanding acting and an outstanding script. Within the constraints of a 2-hour drama, this movie well handled the American crack cocaine-alcoholism issues/drug codependency issues; grandparenting custody issues…

It was tougher to get through than we thought and we actually had to watch in 2 rounds. Really hard. I wish it had dealt with race and race tension more comprehensively maybe that would have helped keep it together a little bit more.

Rated 1/10. I gave up on this movie after sticking with it for an hour. It was downright depressing. On the back of the DVD box, it is billed as a comedy-drama. I was unable to find any humour in the time that I watched. There is no humour…

Very good movie, the actors and actresses played their roles quite well. The story line is very good and this movies brings up some very good issues. I would absolutely watch the movie again and recommend to anyone.

I thought it was an excellent movie that explored the prejudices on both sides yet showed how in the end, when people put aside their differences, they can come together. I'd watch it again.

Wonderful script and beautifully acted film. It honestly tells the story showing the love, anger, hurt, tolerance and intolerance on both sides. Perfect casting and superb performances.

Well-acted and engaging. Nuanced. Without the sense that one side has all of the truth. Well worth watching.

The reviews for this movie were mixed, but I was intrigued to learn why. Near the end, I was suspicious that the ending would be fixed, thereby, possibly the reason for the mixed reviews. While I am sure that Spike Lee would have treated…

This didn't pass the 10 minute rule for me. I'm personally tired of the hatred on both sides of racism, victim and perpetrator. I suppose if I watched the whole thing, I might have been redeemed. But I just couldn't take Costner's…

I was pleasantly surprised the way that race issues were navigated in this thoughtful film of an extended family and its struggle to find an inclusive way to raise a little girl after the death of her grandmother (who was her primary…

a film about selfish people trying to win a point while never taking the child's opinions into consideration. A drunk and an enabler fighting over a child who could benefit more from the peace between them which she finally begins to get…

Excellent, based on real events. Interesting by the way they revealed later in the movie how Kostner a white grandfather became responsible for raising a mixed race grand child.

TWO THUMBS UP!!!! I truly enjoyed this movie. Some may expect this to be an action or thriller movie. Just put your expectations aside as the assist. director and watch it to the very end. Watch the "extra" with actors commentary…

An outstanding film. The journey of the entire family is compelling. There are many dimensions and turly the story is neither balck or white. I applaud Kevin Costner for investing and making this film. The acting is very good and draws…
