wren_rainbow 's review for:
Passing
by Nella Larsen
This was a short read yet it told so much yet, so little. Haven’t quite figured out my thoughts but looking forward to watching the movie in the next few days. Maybe I’ll be able to put my thoughts into words after watching it. Though for sure I wish we didn’t have such an ambiguous ending!!
Update 11/20/21: The movie was well done! My biggest con is that you can tell that the actresses are certainly not white passing despite the black and white look. I appreciated the film work in locations where they are passing for white they look lighter whereas in other places where they aren’t, they appear darker. There was a part of the book that went over my head that I finally understood after watching the movie. “We are all passing for something” is not only referring to being black and passing as white but also the main character passing as straight hence the lack of sex and sex being a grand joke statement from the husband.
