Iโm assuming the movie was filmed in black/white to draw away from both actresses being light skinned black women whoโs story line was they were โlightโ enough to pass for white women in the 20โs. I kept telling myself they are playing a role.. and to not focus so much on the skin color. I loved the family dynamics of Irene and her husband being a successful black family, I cringed when the sons weโre speaking in that tone, I assumed black parents and manners were way more standardized back then. I wish they wouldโve delved deeper into the privileges Claire had with passing for โwhiteโ or the dangers with her child. Overall it was a good movie & great acting.
