I have no idea why my mother and aunt allowed me to watch this movie with them, but that openness is the type of stuff that I am grateful for.

"No, the six black friends hanging out together in a Boston apartment over a Thanksgiving weekend, watching television, drinking beer and smoking "blunts", are not waiting for Godot, although it sometimes feels that way. The characters in their 20's who inhabit ''Black and White and Red All Over'' are caught up in a wave of black-on-black violence that is receiving sporadic coverage on a local television station. Exactly how they are connected to these events is revealed only in bits and pieces as the story unfolds. Even by the end of the movie, much is still unexplained.
Set in the near future, the film, directed and written by DeMane Davis, Harry McCoy and Khari Streeter, has the style of a semi-improvised docudrama. Drenched in a mood of ominous claustrophobia, it evokes a black urban society so caught up in lethal turf wars that at times the apartment seems like a bunker. Most of the crucial events in the drama take place offscreen.
The movie has flashes of grim humor. One scene is photographed from the point of view of a "blunt" that the characters are passing around. When they talk back to the continuously playing television, their banter about the programming, particularly on the Black Entertainment Network, has a bitterly funny edge."
