In a small coastal town of fishermen in Uruguay, the biologist Kraken works and lives in a house at the sea side with his wife Suli and their aggressive fifteen year-old daughter Alex. When Suli welcomes her former best friend Erika that comes with her husband, the surgeon Ramiro and their teenage son Alvaro from Argentina to spend a couple of days with her family, Kraken learns of the real reason for their visit, for Ramiro to operate on Alex. The reason being that Alex was born with both male and female sex organs. During the visit Alex and Alvaro grow closer in attraction to one another and eventually have sexual intercourse which causes even more confusion for the both of them. This film follows this period of time in Alex's life as she deals with constant questions about her gender identification, a pursuit of love and how to cope with her uniqueness.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by David WiegandAs finely crafted as a great work of literature.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe good news is that this is an intelligent drama that is in no way exploitative.
Eye for Film - 9/10 by Amber WilkinsonRicardo Darin... again proves that he can break your heart with a look, conveying unspoken emotion with a glance that taps you into his pain.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyTo the director's credit, what could have been a clinical study or fact-based medical case instead unfolds as a touching coming of age tale focusing on the tender romantic angle.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe shots are beautifully composed, the editing paces the process of self-discovery, the dialogue is spare and heartfelt, the performances are deeply human -- especially by Efron.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Jeff ShannonXXY is the first film to address intersex identity with graceful compassion, and [director] Puenzo tells Alex's story with simple, honest and forthright integrity.
Nick's Flick Picks - 9/10 by Nick DavisEven when the film overdoses on its own downcastness or on dubious similes and symbolisms, you can feel why the characters as well as the filmmakers are humbled in more than one way by the conceptual intricacies and the high emotional stakes of the essent
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by Bill WhiteDespite its sometimes creepy tentativeness, XXY succeeds as a meditation on gender and sexuality, one that refuses an easy answer to the question, 'Is it a boy or a girl?'
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Dan LybargerWith 'XXY,' Argentinean writer-director Lucía Puenzo takes what could have been a movie-of-the week subject and instead delivers a thoughtful and deeply moving tale.
NPR.org - 8/10 by Bob MondelloThe movie's images are frequently startling, its performances sharply observed and quirky, and its take on its subject matter undeniably provocative.
