Supernova Review
Bleecker Street has had a few movies recently that have dealt with love and its many variations. This film is about two men specifically who have a very touching and beautiful relationship.

Passing Review
Passing is based on the novel by Nella Larsen. It’s the first directorial outing for actress Rebecca Hall (Christine, The Town). This has been a passion project for Hall for years. It’s a throwback to the films of the 1920s and ’30s when the story takes place. It’s quite a decision for a first-time filmmaker like Hall.Continue reading “Passing Review”
