Devastante pensare che ci possa essere qualcuno che si trova a dover affrontare scelte, spesso forzate o non deliberate, che in un modo o nell'altro lo porteranno a perdere irrimediabilmente una metà di se stesso. Siamo dalle parti di un'amputazione forzata di braccia e gambe. Consigliatissimo

Filme interessante, mas faltou explorar mais profundamente a problemática vivida entre os personagens.

O filme é lindo. A fotografia, direção e principalmente a atuação. No roteiro o que mais chama a atenção é o espaço que os pais dão a Alex para a escolha. O lugar é muito bonito.. Faz o filme ficar mais interessante. 5 estrelas.

Once in a while a film comes along that is difficult to simply analyze. Its characters are no longer characters, but people you simply give a fuck about. XXY is such a film I keep tucked away in some raging corner of my being.

I thought it was a beautiful portrayal of an awkward subject that in today's society calls for "normalization". Alex is confused, not sure if she identifies herself as male or female or is interested in men or women. She is simply herself. I didn't find the relations cold, only distant. No one else can relate to what she is going through, so they react the only way they know how.

Pierre, i really disagree about the coldness. I think the relationship between father and child is so well portrayed. His warmth towards Alex is so liberating. But they are lost in society - NOT to themselves - and that lostness is not coldness. For example, when Alex questions if a decision has to be made. Society pushes for clear gender borders. We can't even talk of people without gender! He/she/her/him.

There's a pervasive atmosphere of coldness to this film. No one seems to connect with one another, not even parents or spouses. They're all alien satellites seemingly united for one cause, but even then there is little consensus. On top of that the subject of the film is under pressure from boys, parents and puberty in a decision that may alter her life forever. Such is the world of an outsider.
In An Expression Of The Inexpressible

Big credits for the chosen theme, the smart handing of the story, the realism and the uncompromised presenting of the (young and confused) sexuality.
