Product Description

Alex ist fünfzehn und hat ein Geheimnis. Aufgrund einer seltenen Laune der Natur ist sie beides: Junge und Mädchen. Die Eltern sind mit ihr aus Buenos Aires nach Uruguay ans Meer gezogen, weg vom Geschwätz der Leute. Bald machen auch hier erste Gerüchte die Runde. Obendrein kommt auf Wunsch der Mutter ein befreundeter Chirurg mitsamt seiner Familie zu Besuch. Könnte? Sollte man vielleicht? Dabei möchte Alex doch nur den Dingen ihren Lauf lassen, ohne ständiges Getue. Da kommt ihr Alvaro gerade recht, der sechzehnjährige Sohn der Gäste. Wäre er ein Kandidat für das erste Mal? Alvaro ist überrumpelt und fasziniert von der herausfordernden Art, wie Alex ans Werk geht...

4.0 out of 5 stars Bravo.
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2021

Complicated, challenging subject matter handled with finesse by the director and actors. I have no idea why this film is rated 18+ as there is nothing the least bit explicit or graphic in it. Should have been an R at most.

I love that the center of all the angst, Alex, after being allowed head space by her father to make her own choice, is thinking perhaps no binary choice has to be made at all. Alex seems to be leaning toward wanting to live as a man, but isn't sure about that yet. I was fascinated by the additional layers of possibility in the film: Is she thinking she may want to live as a gay man? Maybe. That'd be fine too.

Really liked the visiting boy's attitude toward Alex after the incident in the loft. He doesn't freak out one way or the other, he just knows and accepts that he liked what happened and he wants more of it. He seems totally ready to accept and perhaps love Alex just as they are. It saddened me to see that a life of alienation and rejection has left Alex unable to accept the affection of someone who accepts and embraces the entirety of who they are. At the end it is Alex who makes it all about their genitals, not the boy. I felt badly for him. And his father is a major jerk. Oh well, maybe there will be a sequel. It would be interesting to see where Alex goes from here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your film is HONEST

A letter to Lucía Puenzo:

Dear Lucia, thank you for your amazing film XXY. I just finished watching it on DVD and I am truly moved not only by your artistry and confidence in filmmaking but also by the subject you so sensitively depict. You created an immense emotional human drama from a taboo subject.

Fortunately social norms are in constant change, but we are still living with so many stigmatized topics from the past, and films like yours bring a great contribution to slowly but surely erase society's negative behavior about unusual or dissimilar people. We are all human beings made of the same stuff.

Your film is HONEST. You succeeded to create a non-exploitive wonderful film encouraging us to be sensitive to each other, understand and enjoy the diversity this noble nature is offering. The major characters in your film are interesting, different and talented, young Alex and Alvaro are convincing and touching.

I will cherish this film for a long, long time to come. I will recommend to all my friends and eagerly waiting for your next creation. You are a talented artist.

Respectfully,
Adam

3.0 out of 5 stars NATURE'S MISCHIEF: HERMAPHRODITE.
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2015
Verified Purchase
A brave film treated with a small dose of medical information or folkloric mentioning. There's very little the world knows about hermaphrodites, although they do exist and appear occasionally as folkloric beings in history rather than legitimate human beings.

I haven't heard about androgynous individuals since Boccacio's Decameron three decades ago; these individuals possess both genitals, a penis and a vagina; folklore has them as being of feminine, beautiful appearance, shy and introverted; one may say antisocial. Nothing like that is portrayed in XXY.

The film has homosexual undertones which, in my opinion, tend to divert the attention of the public to something that might not be. An example is the translation, the original dialogue is written in proper Spanish, while the translation is rather vulgar and trashy. Then the hermaphrodite's character behavior is out of context, it rapes a boy with anal sex, and they both expressed they liked it. The classic submissiveness, timidity and sheepishness of the hermaphrodite is totally shattered in this film.

Ricardo Darin who plays the androgynous' father is one of the most recognized actors in Argentina, one of his better films is The Nine Queens, a good suspense film. It appears that after it, he came out of the closet and became an activist for the lgbt movement down there. Which is fine, people can do what ever they want with their lives.

As afore stated, there seems to exist very little public or medical information about this condition of gender and sexuality, since I watched the film, I've been gleaning and skimming the surface and could not find any more that I had already known; perhaps if I make a more profund search I might find better explanations and consensus on the matter. But I don't have the time or desire to become an erudite on hermaphrodites.
I do, however, recommend the film, I watched with more than a grain of salt, but it treats an area many don't dare to film.

Its an odd and querky little film. I wanted to give this one a 3 star just because I felt the story plot was unfair by creating Alex as such a mean snot at first. That part bothered me, because too often stories make the 'not so normal' people out as monsters just because they are different. but the story goes into a brave opening that others dont. So it won a star back. I loved how the father instantly accepted his child's decision to discontue the 'normalcy' conditioning of pills. And here was this visiting surgeon, and his family, that was supposed to be a better man hating on his son over an assumption that he might be gay, I felt bad for that kid because he was only coming to realize that he was at least Bi and found a freeing comfort, only to get leveled over by his father's oldfashion, macho bulls**t.

What cost this film a star was all the awkwardness of the adults. Its almost like the directors didnt give anyone but Alex and his/her father any lines. Everyone else had to adlib. Making everyone coms across as estranged. Very odd. There were others things that were thrown in there that could have developed further to give this film some real depth, but instead seemed to just be used as meaningless filler. Shame.

Lastly, to leave on a good note: the cinematography gets a A+

I'm not sure why the product description refers to adolescent transsexuality because the films is about intersexuality, specifically XXY (Klinefelter's Syndrome). A very touching piece of work. I felt the director did a good job presenting a very emotion filled story with a good cast of characters. I would highly recommend it!
