As lively and amusing as the film is in some ways, it does set up expectations at the outset that are never really delivered upon.

It doesn't try to spell out all aspects of the issue or arrive at any particular point. Toback presents specific characters dealing with specific problems and, through their stories, somehow manages to take the temperature of the times.

This lively mess proves that when Toback loses his head, he does it with style.

Like James Toback himself, his new film is in your face, overflowing with ideas, outrageous in its connections, maddening, illogical and fascinating.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Part exhibitionism, part sociology experiment, part improv session, Black and White is nothing if not colorful.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
