XXY (2008)

XXY (2008)

When will some directors understand this? 

Just because a film is slow, long, monotonous, boring, uninteresting, bad… doesn’t mean it’s a good film!!!

Besides, if it has a big prize at Cannes, that means a lot !!!

I was bored throughout this film.

There are two or three actors who do not do too badly. 

Too bad for them! 

One or two nice scenes, one or two passable dialogues. 

Apparently, if a film is called XX or XXY, it’s the same thing: either it sucks, or it sucks big time.

It’s sad, because the film was supposed to deal with an important theme. But here, nothing!

A big waste of time that brings nothing. 

It makes me laugh, because it’s said all the time that the Americans are bad, that their films are only copies of other countries, remakes of their own films, that they have no imagination, that they only make prequels, sequels, etc. 

You’d think that all the films from other countries are good! 

Let me laugh!!!

This film is Argentinian produced with the economic contribution of France and Spain. So three countries I’m not crazy about, at least cinematically!

We are far from the English, Swedish, German masterpieces. 

In short!

Let’s say to each his own. 

The anti-Hollywood people will shout “O Genius!!!”

They will say: “Finally! Something different!”

“Fascinating and moving…”

“A beautiful, beautiful, light-hearted rock that must be seen!”

Too bad for me?

Oh no: I’m fine with it. 

I just wasted my time.
