Loved the period setting
The black & white filming. Different grades of shading. I get that.
Acting was okay. Ruth Negga is always a joy to watch.
But "Passing"?
I get that Rene tried coming off as white in the first five minutes of the film hiding behind her chiffon hat in possibly White only establishments. But this was the only evidence I saw of this "Passing" Or have I missed something?
The story ended being about a boring, miserable, middle class black family with a "Passing" friend.
I wanted to learn much more from this film and story of Passing.
It Passed me by.
