It's not really a surprise that a lot of people hate this because it feels really corny and awkward at times (for example, Mark Ruffalo has a handlebar mustache for half of the film) but it is actually sort of perfect. Like a half-conscious melding of Rohmer and Wong. Sex is terrible, but feelings are way worse and most importantly, men are super clueless.

Decent film, not altogether very surprising though. Fine drama about relationships and sexual tensions.

Commendable debut effort by Austin Chick, and all around solid performances by the cast. Ruffalo plays the miserable lover torn between the women, and he is quite in his element playing the role. Not a boring moment, although a tad depressing at times, but that's only the characters' miseries getting through to you.

There is an uneasiness, as people are never quite as happy as they should be, and even if the film tries to be upbeat, there is an overriding sense of uncertainty that always lingers in the distance. But then, the same can be said about any relationship, which makes XX/XY feel all the more real. Excellent stuff from an up-and-coming talent. [Full Review]
