The White pass, adapted from Nella Larson's famous novel of the same name in 1929, revolves around two black women, Irene Redfield (Tessa Thompson) and Claire Kendry (Ruth Nega, who has been nominated for an Oscar). At the height of the Harlem Renaissance in New York in the late 1920s, both of them could pretend to be white. But choose to live in two worlds bounded by skin color. One summer afternoon, when two childhood friends met again, Irene reluctantly asked Claire to visit. As a result, Claire courted Irene's husband (Andre Holland) and her family, and then broke into her wide social circle. As their lives became more closely intertwined, Irene found that her once stable life began to be turned upside down by Claire's presence. The White pass is a fascinating film that examines the obsession and repression of human nature. What lies can people tell to themselves and others in order to protect their carefully constructed reality?
