Washington PostTom Shales
This is television that matters, and that very rare thing in current TV, reality that's real.

This spare film collects 22 black celebrities' insights as told to critic Elvis Mitchell--from Toni Morrison on how her race liberated her as a writer to Chris Rock on his dad's theory about competing with white people.
Read Full Review >SalonHeather Havrilesky
A simple but moving collection of first-person accounts, anecdotes and musings by notable black artists, writers and public figures from Kenan Ivory Wayans to Colin Powell.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
It feels like one of those coffee-table books no one actually reads. Might be a mistake, though, to just look at the pretty pictures. Because some of these talking heads, who range, in the S's alone, from Guns N' Roses' Slash to Philadelphia's Dawn Staley, have something to say.

The 90-minute documentary is consistently thought-provoking.
Read Full Review >PopMattersCynthia Fuchs
If The Black List‘s presentation is seemingly simple, its stories are layered, poignant, and provocative.
