Black White and the Greys

Brilliant acting and a nuanced, great script. In a time of divisions and strong, contrasting opinions , this film has a refreshingly human perspective on things. The sympathies shift along the way, much due to the great and natural acting. The dialogue floats in a way that you rarely see. I was lucky to get to see it at the Orlando Film Festival, and one could feel that the film had a profound impact on the crowd.

If you are fond of great nuanced acting, intelligent dialogue and a good story, go discover this film! It deserves a big audience, and the big audience deserves more films like this.

Black White and the Greys is absolutely fantastic! I was especially amazed when I learned that Marchelle Thurman, Casey Nelson and their producers (Jay Jablonski and Jessica Mathews) only took six weeks to write, produce, and direct in this film! Every character and discussion was treated with such nuance and thoughtfulness. Most of it took place in one location but it never felt claustrophobic. There were nice moments of levity at just the right time. I also appreciated the natural performances all around. We have all scene film about marriages and relationship falling apart under strain and stress but this film offers a new take and leaves us feeling hopeful.

Didn't know what to expect but was blown away. Great job capturing the last several years from multiple perspectives. The movie does a really good job examining recent events and associated emotions through the eyes of each character. Impressed with the depth and range of the characters. Conversations are thought provoking and interesting without being over the top. Very well shot; enjoyed the color tones and camera postponing. Actors did an awesome job exploring each character and bringing them to life. Really makes you think about what we just came through and where we might be heading. Don't miss this!

I don't even know where to start but let me tell you this film definitely tugged at my heart. I typically don't watch films within this genre but I am so glad I did. It touched upon such relevant topics without feeling like I've heard or seen it before. The story telling, directing and acting exceeded my expectations and actually made me want to rewatch since it was that good. The timeline of the film never felt too long and the scenarios actually made me relive my own personal moments and that very rarely happens, when watching films. It was refreshing to take a step back from all the blockbusters and get back to real stories. We need more films like this. Definitely a must watch film!

I enjoyed this film tremendously. There aren't many films today that are bold enough to tackle the many polarizing issues confronting us in today's America. The way these confounding issues are presented - in the context of a committed marriage - makes for a compelling, intimate, real life drama that no doubt is being played out everyday in our fractured society. The story pits two people with opposing views on multiple issues - BLM, COVID - attempting to find common ground - the ever elusive middle - that will allow their marriage to survive.

The acting is superb, the direction sensitive and as we are drawn into these characters lives and POV's we find ourselves struggling to not so much take sides with one or the other but to yearn for some kind of resolution.

The conclusion does not disappoint.
