XX Movie Critic Review in short..
A disparate palette of styles is to be expected, even required, in a
venture of this nature. From Clark’s high-kitsch farce to Kusama’s
solemn spin on Ira Levin, there’s no aesthetic throughline to be found
here. (Unless, that is, you count the structural glue provided by
Mexican stop-motion animator Sofia Carrillo, whose ornately gothic
haunted-toybox interstitials link the segments and prettily go with
nothing at all.)
Conceptually, however, “XX” doesn’t hang together as well as it
might. Though it’s a rare, welcome showcase for female talent in a
largely male-steered genre — with all four films written and directed by
women and boasting active female protagonists — anyone expecting a
unified feminist subtext from the who will come away disappointed. While
three of the films deal compellingly with the psychological strain of
motherhood, Benjamin’s straightforward monster romp stands in the way of
that becoming a binding theme. (At an earlier stage, directors Mary
Harron and Jennifer Lynch were set to complete shorts for “XX”; one
wonders what further dimension they’d have brought to the collective.)
