Plot
Based on real events, Black and White tells the story of Max Stuart (Ngoombujarra), a young aboriginal man who was sentenced to death after being found guilty of the murder of a nine-year-old girl on what was considered questionable evidence. It follows the fight by his lawyers David O'Sullivan (Carlyle) and Helen Devaney (Fox) to save Stuart from execution, as well as Crown Prosecutor, Roderic Chamberlain's (Dance) efforts to convict Stuart. Rohan Rivett editor of an Adelaide paper, The News, and its publisher, Rupert Murdoch (Ben Mendelsohn) also feature as leading the public response in the campaign to save Stuart.
In the final scene of the film, Max Stuart appeared as himself as an older man, driving along a dirt highway near Alice Springs where he lived at the time, and saying: "Yeah, some people think I'm guilty and some people think I'm not. Some people think Elvis is still alive, but most of us think he's dead and gone."[1]
Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes Black and White has an approval rating of 43% based on reviews from 7 critics.[2] Australian reviewers praised it as "the sort of film Australia should be making"[3] and "another notch in the belt for the Australian film industry".[4] On its theatrical release in the UK, reviewers called it "[a] gripping, well-crafted tale",[5] and "a challenging film that dares to trust our intelligence".[6] !-- "[a] watchable fictionalisation [that is] interestingly ambiguous where another sort of film might have been content with PC certainty".[7]Шаблон:Citation needed - review not found --> However Philip French, writing in The Observer, called it "heavy handed".[8]
