Critic Reviews

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Emotional presence and a sophisticated understanding of commitment-phobia (as something other than a comedic punchline or an excuse for sex scenes) distinguishes this intense, contained drama, as does the unforced, sensual, and sensitive cinematography of Uta Briesewitz. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

Doesn't necessarily offer anything new to the male/female dynamic, but it refuses to let Coles off the hook with an easy epiphany and a painless happily ever after. Read full review

Tim Merrill

It may appear clichéd in the telling, but Chick has no use for the glib irony and rampant pop-culture sampling which has already dated "Reality Bites" and its ilk. Read full review

Claudia Puig

Some moments in XX/XY ring true, and the honesty exposed is revelatory. But, like some relationships, this drama can be tough to endure. Read full review

Stephen Holden

A sour portrait of Gen X yuppies who settle for adult lives that appear at once soulless and overprivileged. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

It's an overly familiar setup played out by overly familiar types but, curiously, what invests XX/XY with its tension is that there's no sense that Austin Chick, the film's capable young director and writer, knows what he feels about any of this. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

It's awkward, listless and fails to reach any sort of climax. Read full review
