- CuriosidadesKevin Costner personally financed this film, because he was moved by Mike Binder's screenplay, wanted to tell the story of the family, and to continue the conversation on race in the U.S. among the film's viewers.
- Erros de gravaçãoWhen outside the law firm that Elliot visits for the first time, they're discussing his alcohol problem, and a young man in a light blue shirt and mustard colored pants walks by. The same man walks by the same way as they move towards the car.
- Citações
Elliot Anderson: So, yes, we're different, you and I. You want to submit that? Submit it. We have different skin colors. Is that the first thing I notice when I see a black man, the color of his skin? Yes. Submit away. Because I can go ahead and submit that that's the first thing you see when you see a white guy. Now, I don't know why that is any more than I know why when I see a good looking woman the first things I notice are her breasts, because I do. But if I move on to my next thought quick enough, I'm not a pervert, alright? I'm not a bad guy. I'm just mildly flawed. It's the same thing with race. It's not my first thoughts that count, it's my second, third, and fourth thought, and each and every case I'm in, it comes down to the same thing: the action and interaction I'm having with the person that I'm interacting with!

"Rowena Jeffers" played by Spencer is "Eloise's" paternal grandmother who seeks custody of her grand-daughter with the help of her brother "Jeremiah Jeffers" played by Mackie, and this young lady is left torn between two families who care for her very much. "Reggie Davis," "Eloise's" biological father played by Andre Holland is referred to as a "street ni**er" according to "Elliot Anderson" (Costner) due to his criminal record, continued drug use, and inability to be a good father to "Eloise."
This racial bias tension pours in to the court custody case which was ruled on by "Judge Cummins" played by Paula Newsome. It is up to "Elliot Anderson" and his legal team including "Rick Reynolds" played by Bill Burr to convince not only the judge but "Rowena Jeffers," "Jeremiah Jeffers," and family that "Eloise" is best suited to live with her "white" grandfather rather than the "black" side of the family.
What I personally liked about the movie is that it was based on real events and presented great refreshing messages about race-relations in modern day America! I enjoyed the film and give it an overall cinema score of 9/10! Go see it! #LoveHasNoColor #maverickradio
