Review of XXY (2007) by Praveen P — 21 Sep 2008
Powerful, haunting film. Incredible acting from the entire cast, especially Inés Efron and Ricardo Darín as lead Alex and her father. Beautifully shot on the Uruguayan coast, it made me want to visit South America even more than I already did.
The character's struggles with sexual identity and orientation are fascinating to watch, heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. Her attraction and encounter with a male visitor confuse and excite them both, and the ambiguous ending makes it difficult to let go.
You're left to ponder their futures well after the credits roll.
