      Total Film

      The Pass is narratively simplistic but psychologically complex.

      The Guardian

      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.

      TheWrap

      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.
