"We're, all of us, passing for one thing or other." - Irene

I felt so conflicted about this film that it took some time to even be able to write a review.

The film is good, simultaneously intriguing and frustrating. It is subtle and hopeful, and harsh and crushing in necessary places. As a queer, black person, I felt the weight of racial tension whilst watching, as well as the pressure to "pass" for something western society has deemed acceptable.

It's a reminder to some of us that we have to maintain decorum, remain vigilant and make sure there are no cracks... nor that the fragile pot we hold dear doesn't get too close to edge and break the status quo... even if we lie to others (and ourselves) that we didn't actually want the pot anyway... but... rambling... right, yes... the movie is worth the watch. Bittersweet... but worth the watch. Survival of the fittest or something...
