The Pass (2016)
Storyline
Two young professional soccer players share a hotel room the night before their first big game. Out of nowhere, one kisses the other. The impact of this 'pass' reverberates through the next ten years of their lives - a decade of fame and failure, secrets and lies, in a sporting world where image is everything.

Reviews

The Pass is narratively simplistic but psychologically complex.
80
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.

Empire
Russell Tovey gives a layered, career-best performance in an intense interior drama that never quite shakes its theatrical origins.
50
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.
