XXY

Films with intersex representation are few and far between, but this could have been better executed.

The movie really captured my imagination. So many issues to deal with for a young woman/man. I liked the movie.

Amazing movie, what great acting. An such an interesting story. Definitely check this one out. I saw it on Amazon Prime April 2021 and it was a free movie, yippee.

Es una historia muy profunda, dura de ver, pero que resulta ser sentimental.

Captivating and heartwarming story that pits courage and acceptance against judgement and ignorance.

Complejo drama sobre una joven hermafrodita que se desarrolla sobre los efectos psicológicos de una adolescentre transexual, Alex (Inés Efron), que en unas vacaciiones recibe junto a su familia Kraken, el padre (Ricardo Darin) su madre Suli (Valeria Bertuchelli) la visita de una familia. Alvaro, el joven hijo de los amigos, se sentirá atraido por Inés descubriendo su propia homosexualidad,

"XXY" is a sensitive look at a young hermaphrodite coming into her teenage years, an age of sexual exploration, and how those around her treat her. There's some slight nudity, but, thankfully, this film isn't ruined by sexual gratuity. As for negatives, though, the the conflict between Alvaro and his father was unnecessarily shoehorned in; it would have fit had that scene not come out of the blue.

Speechless. That is all.

A physiological issue that could have been bungled at birth is evolving more naturally because of very good parental care. Most everyone is sensible and sentitive in the film and we feel the best solution is the simplest one, being adopted by the parents. The teenage turmoils becomes normal and not at all earth shattering. We, as the viewer, can see the resolution appropriate and not disturbing. We are given the gift of life and we should be grateful. Life is much easier when things are done with consent between sensible people. This is the extreme opposite of war.

XXY, la película de Lucía Puenzo que arrasó en todos los festivales, cuenta la historia de Alex, una niña con problemas de intersexualidad, pues nació con genitales masculinos y femeninos. En la lucha de sus padres por apoyarla a que tome una decisión sobre quién quiere ser, la madre invita a casa a una amiga con un marido cirujano dispuesto a operarla, y con un hijo de la misma edad de Alex en pleno despertar sexual. Desde entonces, Alex deberá luchar por mantener su secreto y con una serie de traiciones. Recomendable.
