The Pass (2016)

The Pass: Directed by Ben A. Williams. With Russell Tovey, Arinzé Kene, Lisa McGrillis, Nico Mirallegro. A romantic interaction between two young footballers profoundly affects one of them throughout the rest of his life and career.

“This was such a pleasant surprise. I truly did not know anything other than this being an LGBT- film, and boy was it more than that. Itu0026#39;s not exactly an LGBT romance film, and surely not one of a couple blossoming. Instead, itu0026#39;s a quiet heavy and quiet dark character study of one broken man. Arinzé Kene is very good and I hope this helps him get more roles, but itu0026#39;s truly Russell Toveyu0026#39;s film and he delivers. I thought he was quite good in Looking, but I never knew he would be possible of the deeper places he goes to here. Itu0026#39;s an incredibly performance that should stand as one of the yearu0026#39;s best.”
