[Review by cornholio.]
XX is a strong and very entertaining anthology film that I enjoyed a lot. I particularly loved the animated transition sequences between the segments by Sofia Carrillo that turned into its own small story in the end.
But of course, there was also much to like about the actual segments of the film – I talk about each individually after the jump.
