But really I can’t think of one really light skinned actress that could pass currently. They worked with what they had

That Blake Griffin skin tone, high yella

She looks like Johnny Cash black wife who passed as white

I take that back Rashida Jones can pass but she ain’t got the acting chops for this type of movie I don’t think
Black

PASSING
Not simply Black & White
PRAISE : Im a fan of both of the lead actresses Tessa Thompson & Ruth Negga in this film about
1920s New York City, and a black woman finds her world up-ended when her life becomes intertwined with a former childhood friend who's passing as white.
The film has it's moments that sting with the casual outright racism of the era and i thought everyone did well in their roles including André Holland, Bill Camp, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, and Alexander Skarsgård. I was stunned by Clare Kendry character wanting to bury who she was even at the cost of losing all self respect,and at the same time longing to be a part of the African American community.
The film is beautifully shot and first time director Rebecca Hall captures the atmosphere of the time.
PROBLEMS : Far to dwelling. I would have preffered a character expressing their feelings and what was actually disturbing them ,instead of them gazing and looking off into space.
I felt the film didnt go as deep as it could have gone and started thinking a documentary would have been far better about the subject matter.
Scale of 1 to 10 a 6½

Watching the film right now (graveyard shift)
Agree with Neo that it's a beautifully-shot film. Feel like Tessa Thompson, Ruth Negga and Andre Holland turned in great performances. You can see Irene was the one that caused the fall
