Review of XX (2017) by Dirigiblepulp — 14 Aug 2017
Most of the short films in "XX" are bad. Like, really bad. Lacking in premise, purpose and cohesion. They don't offer much of a feminist angle, unless you count having a female protagonist as such, and they don't offer anything whatsoever to warrant the existence of this anthology film. Even the wraparound offers literally nothing to the overall experience.
The only short with any merit is Karyn Kusama's entry, "Her Only Living Son", which is a sort of "what if" pseudo-sequel to "Rosemary's Baby". The premise and its slight winks to that other film are good (though not nearly clever enough) but the ending misses the mark.
