Review of XXY (2007) by Si P — 25 Apr 2011
Winner of the Critics Week Grand Circle Award at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, XXY features an extraordinary performance by Inà (C)s Efron who manages to build empathy for her character while making Alex a symbol of all adolescents' search for acceptance.
Director Lucia Puenzo has said that after reading the short story by Bizzio that she "couldn't get it out of her head". A film of haunting beauty and compassion that says that every human being deserves to be loved for who they are regardless of gender, physical deformity, or sexual orientation, it will also be hard to get out of your head.
