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.
80
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.
