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.
