Rating: B- --
As far as legal procedurals and family dramas go, Black or White is a minor success.

Rating: C- --
Simply casting too wide a net to feel truly satisfying. In trying to be color blind, it just comes off as tone deaf.

Oh, the bathos! The loony wrongheadedness of the screenplay!

Philadelphia Inquirer
This very shallow, poorly conceived and developed film, which is based on a true story, is a well-meaning misfire.

National Newspaper Publishers Association
It’s one of the most complex characters Costner has played, and he delivers an intense, strong, darkly funny and moving performance...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Costner holds it all together. While he's always been supremely watchable, as his looks succumb to middle-age spread-his acting chops have escalated.

Rating: C- --
Wants to provide profound insight into racial relations and family, but the execution is heavy-handed.

Product Description:
Writer/director Mike Binder's family drama BLACK OR WHITE stars Kevin Costner as Elliot, a wealthy citizen of Los Angeles whose wife dies in a car accident in the movie's opening scene. This leaves him alone to care for his young biracial granddaughter Eloise (Jillian Estell). Eloise's mother, Elliot's daughter, died in childbirth, and the girl's African-American father has been out of the picture because of his serious drug problem. Eloise's paternal grandmother, Rowena (Octavia Spencer) is a straight-talking self-made woman who lives with her large family in East L.A., and she decides that Eloise needs to be around all of her family now more than ever and sues for custody. BLACK OR WHITE screened at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
