Depending on your personal family history, a story like the one told in the 2021 film Passing will not be revelatory. In fact, there are more than a few broken branches in my own family tree telling a similarly themed story.
Passing is the directorial debut of British actor Rebecca Hall and based on the 1929 Nella Larsen novel of the same name. Hall also adapted the screenplay. Passing premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
