Shot in a hazy black-and-white - and evoking the elegance of 1920s New York - “Passing” is a muted meditation on how the boundaries of identity are rarely as clearly defined as some may think. As Clare begins spending more time in Harlem, moving freely between the different worlds of race and class, an unsettled Irene can’t decide if she pities, resents or envies her. Clare (Ruth Negga) is passing as white and is married to an upper-class racist (Alexander Skarsgard). Irene (Tessa Thompson) is married to a successful man (André Holland) and is raising two sons in Harlem, where she does race-conscious charity work. Rebecca Hall wrote and directed this adaptation of Nella Larsen’s daring 1929 novel, about two old friends - both light-skinned Black women - who reconnect as adults, leading very different lives. What emerges is part documentary and part cinematic essay, exploring the causes of citizens’ distrust the authorities. (The occasional dramatic action sequences, scored with pulse-pounding music, ought to be a cue.) Much of what Ruizpalacios and his crew shot has been staged and yet it’s mostly still “true,” in that the anecdotes are based on actual experiences and large portions of the footage do feature people sharing their honest feelings about policework directly into the camera. By the film’s halfway point, viewers should start to figure out that not everything here is strictly nonfiction. In the director Alonso Ruizpalacios’s challenging and unconventional “A Cop Movie,” two Mexico City police officers tell stories about some of the difficulties of their job, while cameras follow them on seemingly routine patrols. These gunslingers present themselves as living legends, and the movie’s accomplished cast throws themselves fully into making them memorable.
