X Plus Y

This is a thoughtful movie that tugs at both emotions and thought processes. It is well-acted, with a subtlety suited to the complex issues that are involved. Those include loss (of parent), autism (both limitations and extraordinary powers), inter-cultural and inter0racial relationships, being entwined in a body that is failing due to MS), growing up different.... I am not sure what the people who rated it poorly felt, but I found it very worthwhile; entertaining and thought-provoking.

Probably one of my favourite movies ever, even when I didn't understand myself I couldn't stop crying when I first saw it because it was just so relatable

a sweet film that portrays autism compentently

Although its slightly uneven and predictable, X+Y manages to create an entertaining and comprehensive story behind its topic backed by commendable performances.

This cliched and rudimentary plot cannot be carried by solid casting, great visuals, and a great soundtrack. I've read that Daniel Lightwing, on whom the movie is based, liked it, but it doesn't solve the problem of barebones characters and conflict that prevents said characters from saying anything meaningful. Yes, it is truly hard to be an autistic child carrying the trauma of losing a parent at an early age, but unfortunately this is Nathan's only defining characteristic in this movie, along with his love of patterns. Ironically, a far more interesting character ends up being Luke, played by Jake Davies. What if you're both socially awkward and not even that brilliant to compensate for it?Now that is a person who is absolutely in a dark place, and figuring out what to make of this life would have been noteworthy. Unfortunately, this is a movie about blue-eyed Nathan, who has two girls lusting after him, with the boy being none the wiser. I guess that counts as cute. Math is displayed in this film in the same way that hacking is in most films. Things are being said, probably intelligent things, in an attempt to present them in a dramatic manner, with limited success.

Enjoyable to a certain extent, not very effective or catchy.

This movie deserves more attention. The acting, the script and the directing are excellent. I enjoyed every moment of it.

Acting is extremely poor

I like the way the film is directed and simple, besides the fact that the anguish brought by the character is magnificent

Brilliant film. Outrageous directing. A lot of emotions revealed that it reflects a remarkably moving story.
