Critics Consensus: Black and Blue is elevated by Naomie Harris' central performance, even if the end result suffers from a simplistic treatment of topical themes.

Reviews

Ready Steady Cut

M.N. Miller

After a promising start, with a strong Harris in the lead, Black and Blue gives way to a generic against time thriller.

There’s an effective, nuanced way to tell a story tackling this issue. Black and Blue does the exact opposite of that, eschewing all nuance and subtlety to make the most generic version of this story as possible.

I think that people right now feel that there needs to be some serious conversation about what we can do for reconciliation between the police and the community... This movie just doesn't contribute to that.

KSDK News (St. Louis)

Dan Buffa

Poised to be something different, Black and Blue is sadly a misfire...

For a film with a bit of righteous anger, Black and Blue is a little too conventionally dramatised. So, it neither stimulates nor provokes as an editorial on the impact of racism and police violence in the US. Frankly, it feels like a cop-out.
