Review of X+Y (2014) by Barneyonmt — 05 Jan 2016
WHAT I LIKED: This makes you laugh, cry, feel tense and emotional - 'x+y' is a film to which all character films should be compared. Few movies capture the magic of so many characters whilst still retaining the tension and beauty to keep audiences engaged throughout. The acting is truly incredible and helps protray some serious messages in a delicate and beautiful way. Plus the danger of over-pretenciousness being avoided, this film deserves every reward it won and then some.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The story needs an extra 5 minutes at the end to develop. That's literally it.
VERDICT: A melodrama that doesn't bore or be 'arty for arts sake' is a rare gem. To make it this good is just outstanding.
