Reviews
|
Village Voice -
The film is novel-rich, so bristling with life that you might not notice how familiar it is in its contours.
|
|
The Telegraph -
The film’s magic is how it slips the skin of sappy and mendacious formula, stepping away from cliché scene by scene, and in quietly revelatory ways.
|
|
Time Out London -
As filmmaking, X+Y is unassuming and not entirely remarkable, but the relationships play so sweetly and memorably.
|
|
Total Film -
With A+ acting, a solid script and sensitive handling, there’s enough here to move even the hardest of souls.
|
|
Variety -
Matthews’ background as a documentarian is obvious and beneficial. But Matthews also demonstrates expertise as a director of actors, getting creditable performances across the board.
