Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   N/A Source Brief Review NZone (3 out of 5 stars) "Although most descriptions of this film will suggest that 'Black & White' is primarily about white America’s fascination with black culture, there are actually three additional facets to its story." more... culturevulture.net "While 'Black and White' may be thematically sound, it fails on nearly every other count - as character study, as improvisatory exercise, as technically competent filmmaking, and most of all, as believable drama." more... E! Online (grade: D) "The only 'Black and White' issue here is this: The film is bad, there's no gray area." more... goodauthority.org "You have to figure that James Toback views himself as some kind of renegade director who's too far-reaching to deal with commercial filmmaking foolishness." more... hip online (2 out of 10) "I have trouble finding anything positive in films that slam race, sexual preference, or gender in comedic form while trying at the same time to be politically correct social commentaries." more... JoBlo's Movie Emporium (4 out of 10) "An interesting experiment gone terribly awry! Props to James Toback for attempting something a little different, tackling a subject which may seem taboo to some and allowing his actors to improv their lines." more... Movie Bodega (C) "The most interesting facet of 'Black And White,' James Toback's latest ensemble film about race in America, is the way it differs from other films about the same subject." more... Orlando Weekly Movies: Reviews (2.5 out of 5 stars) "There's an off-the-cuff, improvisatory spontaneity to James Toback's 'Black and White' that reflects its subject -- hip-hop culture's interface with mainstream society -- and gives the otherwise flawed film a certain electric edginess." more... Salon "In his new film, 'Black and White,' James Toback has gotten hold of a great subject: the infatuation privileged white kids have with hip-hop." more...
