Is That Black Enough for You?!? Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Film critic, curator, ace interviewer, and all-around bon vivant Elvis Mitchell has put together a provocative scrapbook documentary that both celebrates and examines the history of Black cinema in the 1970s.
Vague Visages
Greg Carlson
Is That Black Enough for You?!? consistently finds the right tone and balance even when one wishes certain movie titles, filmmakers or performers were afforded more time on the screen.
Offscreen With Jillian
Jillian Chilingerian
Is That Black Enough for You?!? is a must-watch for any film lover to provide a historical timeline and the influence of Black cinema.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Writer/director Elvis Mitchell gives elegant narration and an informative retrospective in this noteworthy cultural documentary, which puts a deserving spotlight on African American-oriented movies and filmmakers from 1968 to 1978.

Superbly written and edited, "Is That Black Enough For You ?!?" is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. Essential.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
Cinephiles will delight at the deep cuts that Elvis Mitchell examines while the entertaining history lesson of black cinema should open the eyes of casual watchers and have them reaching for a notepad to seek out availability of these titles.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
Mitchell is smart. It's pleasurable to be along for this tour of his mind and its nimbly kinetic knack for association and sharp inference.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It tells a collective tale of long-frustrated and marginalized talent finally getting some breaks.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Among the many virtues of "Black Enough" is that even if you don't feel quite so strongly about that time as Mitchell does, it makes you share his excitement.
New York Times
Brandon Yu
From a film archivist's standpoint, the work serves as a remarkable corrective on cinematic memory...
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
As Mitchell puts it, "Being Black in America is often about remembering that what you think you are isn't what people see, and figuring out the distance between those two perceptions."
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Is That Black Enough for You?!?" ultimately does what the best films like this do: make you wish there was more.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
It should be shown in film schools. Wonderful.
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
With his outstanding analysis, dazzling clips, and compelling reflections, Is That Black Enough For You?! will undoubtedly be a staple in cinema studies and for the causal cinephile for decades to come.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A reclamation of the traditionally white canon of film history that pulses with the passion of its creator and the voices that inspired him.
Los Angeles Times
Sarah-Tai Black
A glossy and breezy summation of Black cinema history this is not, and thank goodness for that.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Ambitious in scope, rich in substance.
TheWrap
Dan Callahan
There is a sense of celebration and discovery that lets us see a whole world of lesser-known films just waiting to be viewed, re-viewed and appreciated in new ways.
The Playlist
Robert Daniels
Mitchell answers the call by not just checking a box, but by fluidly weaving these players and these movies into their larger cinematic fabric. And in the process, elevating Blaxploitation to its rightful cultural perch.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"Is That Black Enough for You?!?" is built in a formally simple yet elegant kaleidoscopic way, examining one movie after another but looking at each through a different lens.
