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.

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

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.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

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.

Vic Vogler, Denver Post
