XXY

2007 / 86m - Argentina
Drama
3.0*/5.0*
XXY poster

A drama about an intersex kid. It's a pleasant enough film, but it's equally clear that XXY got most of its attention due to its subject matter. Not that it's not a story worth telling, but I'd hoped for stronger cinematic qualities and a more unique take on the subject. What I got was a pretty basic international drama.

The performances are solid and the drama is both subtle and unflinching. The cinematography is rather grim though and the pacing is a tad slow. It's not that I was bored while watching, but it's not exactly riveting cinema and I don't think it's a story that will stick with me for long. Worth a shot if you're interested in the subject though.
