2/5
"Un drama intimista y sutil, alejado de cualquier explotación morbosa, sobre un tema poco transitado por el cine. Falla un poco en convicción dramática, pero algunas actuaciones elevan el interés."  Uruguay Total  Enrique Buchichio

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
