That’s the subject of Rebecca Hall’s new Sundance-to-Netflix awards contender “Passing,” symbolically filmed in black-and-white to capture its black-and-white themes, but with plenty of shades of gray for complex characters ensnared in a Gatsby-style tragedy. Based on a 1929 novel by Nella Larsen, a mixed-race author of Afro-Caribbean and Danish descent,...

From start to finish,...
