Passing

[Netflix Only] Rebecca Hall's gripping, critically acclaimed, black-and-white, poignant, award-winning, well-acted, thought-provoking, 98-minute film based on Nella Larson's 1929 novel in which a well-to-do housewife (Tessa Thompson), who is living with her doctor husband (André Holland), two sons (Justus Davis-Graham and Ethan Barrett), and a housekeeper (Ashley Ware Jenkins) in Harlem, runs across a free-spirited, light-skinned childhood friend (Ruth Negga) visiting from Chicago at a posh New York City hotel in the 1920s and unexpectedly learns that her wealthy, racist husband (Alexander Skarsgård) hates Negroes and does not know his wife is African-American, and they end up reconnecting and sharing memories over several weeks until her husband intervenes at a social gathering.
