The Pass is finally nothing more than a modest stage adaptation and a vehicle for Tovey, but on that level it is focused and skillful.

The night before their debut game, Jason and Ade, two nineteen-year-old professional soccer players, share a kiss. In a sporting world where image is everything, this surprising ‘pass’ sets the men up for a contrasting decade of fame and failure, full of secrets and denial.

Russell Tovey gives a layered, career-best performance in an intense interior drama that never quite shakes its theatrical origins.

The Pass is narratively simplistic but psychologically complex.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
The film is a bit stagey sometimes, but ambitious and insightful. Tovey is excellent as he shows someone progressing from innocence to fear and then to loneliness.
