Watch XXY For Free

Overrated

Good movie but grossly overrated

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

It's like they intentionally made the weirdest movie they could think of. It's weirder than Psycho (not better, just weirder). She has tits and a dick. So what does she do with it? She sodomizes a boy! Considering the fact that lesbians use dildos on each other, you would think that would be her natural mode of operation. Instead, they promote sexual confusion, the worst of both worlds, that is sodomy. And when she gets a chance to use it for what it's meant for, she walks away from the opportunity. Reminds me of Psycho's shower scene, minus the blood, the music, or anything else entertaining. Making it something you just really didn't want to see.

Argentine author, screenwriter, producer and director Lucia Puenzo's feature film debut which she wrote, is inspired by a short story called "Cinismo" by Argentine author, musician and director Sergio Bizzio. It premiered in the 46th International Critics' Week section at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival in 2007, was screened in the Vanguard section at the 32nd Toronto International Film Festival in 2007, was shot on locations in Uruguay and is an Argentina-France-Spain co-production which was produced by Spanish producer José Maria Morales. It tells the story about a fifteen-year-old virgin and student named Alex whom has been expelled from school for having hit her best friend named Vando. Alex lives in a house in a beach town in Uruguay with her father named Kraken who is a marine biologist and her mother named Suli, and one day she and her family is visited by a surgeon named Ramiro, his wife named Erika and their 15-year-old son named Álvaro. Distinctly and subtly directed by Latin-American filmmaker Lucia Puenzo, this quietly paced fictional tale which is narrated from multiple viewpoints though mostly from the main character's point of view, draws a humane and reflective portrayal of an Argentine intersex person whom has stopped taking the medication which is preventing the male hormones in her body from growing and who becomes physically attracted to a same-aged boy who thinks he has befriended a girl. While notable for it's distinct, atmospheric and naturalistic milieu depictions, reverent cinematography by cinematographer Natasha Braier and use of sound, colors and light, this character-driven and narrative-driven story about identity where being born with both male and female external sex organs and having to decide which gender one is to live with becomes a heartrendingly conflicting choice for a person whom has been treated by some as a freak and who sometimes calls herself a monster as that is what she thinks she is regarded as, depicts a remarkably perceptive study of character and contains a great and timely score by composers Daniel Tarrab and Andrés Goldstein. This biological, densely conversational, mindfully romantic and authentic coming-of-age drama from the late 2000s which is set in a resort town called Punta del Este in Uruguay in the 21st century and where a father and mother whom has moved from the capital city of Argentina to get away from prying people, commendably allows their child to make her own decisions concerning who she wants to be, is impelled and reinforced by it's cogent narrative structure, substantial character development, subtle continuity, rare graceful aura, scene between Alex and a girlfriend taking a shower together where a human being's sense of being bilateral and incomplete is poignantly envisaged, the profoundly gripping acting performance by Argentine actress Inés Efron and the good acting performances by Argentine actor and director Martin Piroyansky and Argentine actor, screenwriter and director Ricardo Darin. A compassionately incisive and naturally cinematographic narrative feature which gained the Critics' Week Grand Prize at the 60th Cannes Film Festival in 2007.

A very watchable story, for that it rates a high score. * The detail, first viewing it did not gel fully as the story is told, I needed to head towards symbolism in order to consider the story as fitting together well. I first heard of XXY genes in the mid 1960's. I used to read a weekly science magasine at our school library and there was a short piece about the gene being mostly liable to be found among the inmates of prisons. The IMDb Message Board for this feature considers that as a dated understanding, theory has moved on a lot since then. The MB also discusses why the title XXY is unlikely to refer to genes. I get the impression, the last decade or two, that the transgendered and intersex, maybe the gay world too, are under pressures to become criminalised. I liked how XXY feature can be an illustration of part of that. This is an teen intersex boy under pressure. Some do not consider that he should be a boy. Some consider that they have a right to walk over him. A formula for a teen to explode, but who will get the blame for that? So there is also the teen self identity problem. * Transamerica (2005), also extremely watchable, has the central character moving towards gender related surgery while still having closet type trans fears. As in XXY, this is someone who needs a healthy maturity, but the pressure is against that happening. This shows what I now understand to be a not unusual problem for trans to have to come to terms with, just one does not get a sympathetic view of the closet type fears. When the UK gender recognition bill was going though Westminster the trans discussion was very hidden, even in the trans world. The major trans influence on the bill was to allow secrecy, and that is there in the resultant law, but pushing for that appeared to make the law makers less sympathetic, the new law is much less inclusive than what I really need. I have not come across a worthwhile and sympathetic analysis of these fears sometimes still being prevalent in what would appear to be the more mature trans. From a trans point of view the fears can easily appear to be justified, we live in an area were accepted critical ways of society are typically destructive to us. The underclasses have a similar problem. Bad shall be stopped, bad shall be overcome, an imperative that has to be good so why do I consider that the underclasses and LGBT tend to be thrown into everlasting living hell because of that? Why do I consider that good is often a special form of bad.

Images, confusion, identity search, fear and seeds of different kind of love. A hermaphrodite and her family. And the others. A doctor and his family. Few days together.Conversation and shadows. And evening of words. A teenager, a girl and the people. Escapes as spider web and the travel to "normality". A poem. About a minority, essence of small lives, parents and children. Few slices about differences as roots of everything. Ines Efron as a strange Alex for who the life is field of obscure country. A question mark. A storm in temple. It is more than a film. It is analysis of desire of happiness. In basic , harsh words. A drama and rolls of silence. Behind definitions.
