Black or White

THERE’S MORE TO FAMILY THAN WHAT YOU SEE.Ā 

blackorwhiteAfter the death of his wife, Elliot Anderson (Kevin Costner), who has a problem with alcohol, is left to care for their biracial granddaughter, but the childā€™s fatherā€™s family wants custody. Costner reunited with his Upside of Anger (2005) director for another film that has him playing a drunk. Heā€™s good as the widower, and the filmmakers had the best of intentions in their attempt to have an adult conversation about race on a family level. However, the more we get into the conflict between Costner and the Black family the more stereotypes are reinforced.

2014-U.S. 121 min. Color. Widescreen. Written and directed byĀ Mike Binder. Cast: Kevin Costner (Elliot Anderson), Octavia Spencer (Rowena Jeffers), Jillian Estell (Eloise Anderson), Bill Burr, Mpho Koaho, Anthony Mackie.

Trivia: Co-produced by Costner and Binder.
