Irene (Tessa Thompson) rarely passes for white. She fears for her safety too much to do so. When she does, white people, from cab drivers to store clerks, treat her with deference.

See, passing is an act by which a person assumes the racial (or sexual) identity of the dominant culture so they might garner that identity’s advantages.

For instance, in the opening scene, Irene wants to buy a toy for her sons in a white-owned shop; using her sun hat to obscure her eyes and face partially, she purchases the trinket under the allusion of whiteness.

‘Cusp’: A Beautiful And Bruised Teenage Summer Fling [Sundance Review]
A sun-flared and bong-addled tumble into a teenage Texan summer rife with bombshells and boyfriend problems, “Cusp,” from debut directors Parker Hill and Isabel Bethencourt is one of those fractal-style documentaries, in which any given sliver contains all the colors and contours of the whole. The opening is a case in point: Long-haired girls lounge on a swing in the park, scoffing, wriggling, idly shooting the shit – it could be any year from any of the last five or six decades, except for the phones they glance at every now and then.

“Passing” Goes From Sundance To Netflix
One of the Sundance Film Festival titles this year expected to spark a bidding war was Passing, the directorial debut from Rebecca Hall. The movie, an ambitious period piece, had plenty of buzz going into the festival, and that continued with largely positive reviews. As expected, the flick generated some chatter, and that in turn has led to a deal out of the fest. Netflix has acquired Passing, presumably with the intention of making it one of their Academy Award hopefuls next year. Whether or not it can appeal to Oscar remains to be seen, but they’ve made their mark out of virtual Park City, after seeing Apple go big for CODA last week.

Fran Kranz Talks His Drama ‘Mass,’ Impossible Grief, And The Power Of Ann Dowd [Sundance Interview]
Fran Kranz’s “Mass” is likely one of the most emotionally pulverizing films ever made about America’s gun-violence epidemic – but across its 110-minute runtime, not a single shot is fired. READ MORE: ‘Mass’: An Impressively Depressing Four-Way Powerhouse, Until the Walls Close In [Sundance] Instead, this intimate chamber piece centers on the parents of two teenagers involved in a school shooting, who come to the table six years later in hopes of finding a way forward from the unfathomable tragedy that’s ripped their lives apart.

‘Land’: Robin Wright Directs Herself Through A Familiar Wilderness Grieving Process [Sundance Review]
Take the nomad out of “Nomadland,” and you’re left with “Land,” Robin Wright‘s feature-directing debut (she previously directed 10 episodes of “House of Cards“), in which she also stars, as a grieving woman who, somewhat ironically given the film bows in the era of mandatory isolation, moves way up into the mountains “to get away from people.” Problem is, take the nomadic element out of “Nomadland” (she moves only once and has done with it) and you’re also left with a less interesting, much more obvious movie, in which not only are we not introduced to a radically different way of living, we’re ultimately confirmed in our safest and most simplistic assumptions about how we live right now.

I did), you will see genius (I did), but you generally won’t see the highly anticipated mega hits found in Toronto, where “Joker” and “Hustlers” premiered. At Sundance, you’re just as likely to encounter “Call Me by Your Name,” a rapturous love story, as you are “Swiss Army Man,” a little-known flick in which Daniel Radcliffe pals around with a farting corpse.

‘Mayday’: Grace Van Patten Shines In A Dreamy Fairy Tale Of Escape & Feminist Revenge [Sundance Review]
Female trauma’s been given a serious workout in cinema, liberally exercised in the fantasy genre of late. The celebrated “Promising Young Woman,” while dark satire, uses hot pink revenge fantasy to acerbically explore unresolved trauma (its we live in a society bias nicely unpacked here), and fellow Sundance film, “The Blazing World,” attempts to fall down the rabbit hole of make-believe and similar flight-or-flight responses to emotional scars, only to grotesquely exploit it with its awkward tumble.

What does dismantling the American carceral state look like? How can meaningful and radical police reform actually be enacted? After years of tireless work by activists, acting upon decades of injustice against the poor and People of Color, these issues of now part of mainstream political platforms. On a federal level, President Joe Biden’s recent executive order to phase out the use of private, for-profit prisons is a clear indication of how far things have come….and how much further they need to go.

‘The Blazing World’ Treats Female Trauma Like An Amusement Park Funhouse [Sundance Review]
Curious is the current emphasis on women’s trauma in American genre film—the way it’s discussed online, marketed, singled out in the headlines—as if trauma were not already deeply embedded in the historical fabric of horror movies. Of course, in a time when more women filmmakers than ever are being given the opportunity to tell their stories, the rise of feminist horror should come as no surprise, especially given the #MeToo phenomenon and efforts to destigmatize mental illness.
