A film about the necessity of growing up could have profited from its own advice.

| Feb 3, 2020

By the numbers relationship drama saved only by Ruffalo's performance and presence.

Few things are more cinematically frustrating than a film with an over-inflated opinion of its own significance.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2005

Succeeds as an amusing critique rather than an empty-headed endorsement of its protagonists' behaviour.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 22, 2003

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2003

Entertained, enlightened and engaged.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 2, 2003

Basically it's just a chick flick about people obsessing constantly over sex and relationships! But the performances make it watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2003

With its talky and theatricalized depiction of cruelties mutually inflicted by financially comfortable good-looking young white people on each other, XX/XY at times recalls a slightly more full-blooded Neil LaBute movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 11, 2003

XX/XY is a lovely film and very smart, and it's for grownups. That's a rare pleasure.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 11, 2003

Rarely does a fine movie like this have so awkward a title.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 11, 2003

Ruffalo continues to be one of the most intriguing actors of his generation.

There's probably a movie in XX/XY, but director Austin Chick doesn't seem to have found it.

Full Review | Original Score: C | May 23, 2003

There really is no moral to XX/XY except perhaps "beware of love"

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 18, 2003

XX/XY expresses and explores this universal yearning without becoming stuck in it. In this and many other respects, few movies are so mature and satisfying.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 16, 2003

Small and specialized.
