Yr Ymadawiad

The Passing is an excellent feature that belies its low budget production. Beautifully shot and well- acted, with an intriguing script and embellished by a wonderful score, it's a real shame this film has not found a wider audience. I wonder of the fact that it is a Welsh-language feature (the first ever, I think) has put people off? That would be a shame because the film bears comparison with any European film of a similar ilk. It's well worth seeking out. So far, The Passing is only available via the BFI website (which is how I came across it), but hopefully it will make its way onto a more mainstream platform before too long. Highly recommended.

I did not get that much out of the movie, but I would not have rated it because it seemed pretty clear there was a lot that just blew by me that was over my head.

After reading the spoiler reviews I now understand it quite a bit better.

Still not sure who the kid in front of the fireplace was at the end, though.

Sorry to have to have everything explained to me but it is what it is.

When the real premise of a movie is hidden until the very last scene, someone's done a good job because at that very last scene, you find yourself rethinking everything you thought you already knew from prior scenes.

Ultimately, this movie is about second chances, and how second chances are earned by relatively flawed good character, or blown by bad character. A nice literary fiction - character development story.

The cinematography isn't great, but the story makes up for it.

A previous reviewer spent time detailing the scenes in the movie, most in regard to water related scenes, that were inaccurate in his/her view. Yet the inaccuracies were the entire point. I think this is summed up quite magnificently at the end of this gem of a movie. In my opinion, any movie made in the last 10 years that has you reviewing it in your mind for a period of time after viewing it, has merit. In this age of predictable, cookie cutter movies and prequels, sequels etc., an original screenplay and story with thought behind it is a unicorn. Loved it.

Cinematography was alright but the rest was a bigger waste of time than threasa mays primistoral time so far. DO NOT RECOMMEND
