Review of XXY (2007) by Arnold P — 03 Jul 2008
Ines Efron plays Alex, 15 years old and hermaphrodite. She lives with her parents who against cliche, are supportive and loving. Efron manages to convey Alexs inner conflict with a quiet intensity which is spellbinding as it is mesmerising.
Her burge...(read more) oning relationship with sweet teenager Alvaro marks the point in her life where she must decide whether to stay in her intermediate state or submit to gender alignment surgery.
This is a restrained and dignified movie that treats its subject with the respect it deserves. Whether he/she is male or female is entirely secondary to the fact that he/she is, as her father puts it, she is perfect.
