Review of XXY (2007) by Christopher C — 18 Jun 2009

There's not a whole lot of dialogue â?? and given the complexity of the topic at hand here, that fact can be quite aggravating: I found myself thinking "God, people, would it kill you to communicate a little more!?" several times.

The story strays and wanders a bit and not all of the characters are allowed real depth, but the beautiful cinematography with its cool blue, sweeping beach vistas and Efrón's amazing job in the lead role as fifteen-year-old Alex still make this more than worthwhile.
