This is a movie review for “XXY”,
released May 20, 2007 in France at the Cannes Film Festival. This is
an Argentinian/Spanish/French film, in the Spanish language. I
watched this on Tubi on April 21, 2019 in Spanish with English subtitles.

Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute
waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of
something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but
could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly
amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all
around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
4/5 – This was an interesting movie
to think about intersex beings and what kind of issues many have.
Whether or not the story is true, I liked learning about the
complications of not being normally in accordance with the binary
gender “standards”.
During November of 2019, I have learned
more about intersex people (and not just “hermaphrodites”). I do
believe that I will be researching more into this in the future. It
isn't enough to merely say “I am a woman and all should be either
men or women” - one should learn how others perceive life and
accept it as a valid point. So what if a person is born male but
feels that they are a female? So what if a person is attracted to
both males and females? Live and let live, is what I am learning.
Highly recommended for those that want
to view something different and to open your mind. If you want to be
close minded, especially thinking in binary terms, this is not a
movie for you.
Anyways, that's my movie review. Thanks
for reading! I have over 30 movies to review to catch up between
April 2019 and November 2019, so more reviews are to come.
