Kevin Costner’s “Black or White” Role Has Love But No Parenting Skills
Published at
“Black or White” – Relativity(NEW YORK) — Kevin Costner stars opposite fellow Oscar winner Octavia Spencer in Black or White, a drama opening in theaters this Friday.
In the film, Costner plays Elliot, a very wealthy white man who suddenly has to raise his black granddaughter by himself after his wife dies.
He explains, “This child has been raised in this home by these two grandparents, now there’s one and it happens to be me and my skill set is not great. My love is great but my skill set is not.”
Elliot subsequently becomes involved in a somewhat-racially-charged custody battle with the child’s other grandmother, played by Spencer.
Anthony Mackie also stars in Black or White.
