Black or White captures what it's like to be mixed and the struggles that come with it. The racial and family tensions are throughout and are executed nicely without making it to violent and disturbing. There are a few choice words and scenes, but it has an amazing story to tell. I really hope everyone can appreciate it as much as I did.

I enjoyed the movie, and think that it did tap into some things that are not simply black or white but universal. Addiction, and a mother loyal to a fault as far as her son is concerned. A good story about ultimately two strong families from different worlds, brought together by one sweet and innocent child. They eventually learn to put their differences aside and focus on what really matters. Wouldn't call it a social commentary on race, but simply a story about a family.

Started off sad and very slow, but got better and ended on a good positive note. The movie had a powerful message and was supposed to be thought provoking, but it fell short in delivery and performance in some areas in my opinion. Just seemed like something wasn't clicking or something was missing. Not as good as it could have been, but still worth seeing!
