Falla un poco en convicción dramática, pero algunas actuaciones elevan el interés."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio 3/5 "An engrossing Argentinean film about a 15-year-old intersex youth who struggles with both her masculine and feminine identities."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/5 "[Director] Puenzo takes advantage of her young actors' star quality, filming their scenes mostly in intense close-ups"   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 2.5/4 "There's a secret at the heart of XXY, but the real mystery is why writer-director Lucía Puenzo insists on unnecessary symbolic gestures for a story otherwise told with delicacy, restraint, and maturity."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "Traz um final em aberto que, ao invés de enriquecer a narrativa ao honrar sua complexidade, soa mais como uma incapacidade do próprio filme em encontrar algo relevante a dizer."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "Argentine writer-director Puenzo invests this tricky story with real soul, bringing the characters and their situation to vivid life."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline  (1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1
