Passing
— If there were awards for perfect and consistent style, this film would win, but it has a lot more than an ambience going for it. It's a look at racial identity in the 1920s, focusing on one woman who passes as white. Tension is everywhere and beneath every scene and every encounter is an air of racism. The uneasiness of bigotry is the norm. The film is extremelty well done and worth watching. [Netflix streaming.]

[2021. 98 min. Directed by Rebecca Hall. Starring Tessa Thompson, Ruth Negga, and Adre Holland.]
