Cannes: International Week Award criticism

"XXY is pure distilled complexity (...) accuracy of speech one of the most unorthodox and delicate love story that this reviewer recalls a long time. Puenzo (...) is the perfect language to say everything without overdoing anything. " - Jordi Costa: Diario El País
