abigailbradyWent to see XXY last night, with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vjbseven and doseybat. Enjoyed. I mean, any film featuring surprise buttsex is ok by me. Um, no. I mean, it was a sensitive portrayal of an intersex kid, Alex, who is fast approaching puberty, and the varying reactions of family and others. The only major quibbles I would have is the misleading name of the film (as Klinefelter's does not do that - they would have done better to keep the original short story name, "Cinismo"), and I'm certain the ultrasound bit was nonsense. But otherwise, good film.

Don't think the film has got to Nottingham Broadway yet as might go see it.

Want to see La Antena but that seems to have got a limited release. Even outpost which is a mainstream b movie isn't on around here
