In Huntsville, sad truths come to light, with heartbreak and violence lingering in their wake, ultimately leaving both men changed forever. -- (C) Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
A lightly enjoyable road pic about a circuitous road to redemption, Black, White and Blues offers simple, down-home pleasures while spinning an undeniably familiar but emotionally satisfying tale.
-
Duane Byrge, Hollywood Reporter
Battling-buddy road movie carries viewers on an entertaining ride into blues country.
-
Mike Scott, Times-Picayune
a sterilized and predictable version of life that plays out like a very special movie of the week -- albeit one with a nice soundtrack.
-
Neil Pond, American Profile
Hope and healing wait at the end of a big-hearted musical road trip.
-
John Beifuss, Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
'Brother knew how to tell a story,' Michael Clarke Duncan says, admiringly, of Shakespeare. The same can't exactly be said of this earnest calling-card indie.
