Passing

"Read the story a few years ago and didnt feel like this adaptation did it justice. Kinda slow, and definitely felt like dropping it multiple times while watching"

"At first I didn’t watch this film because it was shot in black and white but 5 minutes into the film it made perfect since why. I’m so glad I came around to watching it. It’s such a powerful film that I really knew nothing about. These two women put on powerhouse performances and I can definitely see why it was a must watch if 2021. Extraordinary film on racial identity."

"I read this book and watched the movie, both are something I come back to think about time to time, especially that ending. "

"Excellent. Very thought provoking. "

"For folks of a certain age and stripe, the only surprise in this story is how abruptly it ends. The tone and pacing here are quiet, making no demands of the audience. I expected a lot from the subject matter that is not here, though I'm sure many Anglo liberals will feel like this is an important bit of cinema that speaks volumes. Conservatives will be disappointed that Passing is not more cruel to Blacks and careful of their white fragilities. It's not a bad film. It should be better. "

"Easy watch, mildly predictable, still good. "

"Great movie. Sad that people of color had to go through this and some may still be living this life"

"A beautiful performance both of these actresses gave. It truly was moving and difficult. Especially whenever I could feel what these characters were communicating and witnessing. Also, credit to the crew; beautifully shot in B/W with 4:3 aspect ratio "

"Great movie. It's a very much slower pace than most people are used to but I enjoyed it. "

"It’s a slow, stylistic movie. The cinematography is stunning. The mirror moment is perfect. The foreshadowing of the flower pot and the tea pot was a nice touch too. "
