Critics Consensus

XX's array of distinct female filmmaking voices -- and the empowerment their collection represents -- offer enough thrills to make up for the overall uneven quality that plagues most anthology projects.

A delightful and horrific variety pack.

Little White Lies

Framed by pretty banal animation, the film as a whole reflects a rather limited vision of womanhood, with three shorts focused solely on mothers. That XX proves patchy is a disappointment, particularly as it is a noble project.

Boston Globe

The four narratives ... achieve varying levels of black comedy and terror with an emphasis on women's issues.

Rated: 2.5/4

Deep Focus Review

The promising concept behind XX draws our interest from start to finish, and the arrangement assures that, if we don't like the current segment, a new one is just a few minutes away.

Rated: 2.5/4

Obviously this is a film that everyone was rooting for... but it just didn't thrill me overall.

Rated: 3/10

Wwith Carillo's creepy Brothers Quay-inspired animation holding it all together, this is an admirable, mostly enjoyable success that I hope inspires a franchise.

All in all, it was an entertaining watch. I found the stop motion between the shorts just as interesting. The 1st really left me hanging, the second was entertaining but had me scratching my head over the main's motivations. It was comical more than scary. The 3rd was by far most creepy and the final, well acted, left me wanting more. It would make a great movie.

This movie is drastically underrated. A movie that consists of multiple mini stories, each manages to capture the different types of horror. If you do watch it, be sure to give a real chance & watch the whole thing.

This movie is just flat out horrendous. The Characters did beyond stupid and implausible decisions. The first thing a woman does when she finds her dead husband is hide him and then put him in a Panda Costume in front of her kid's birthday, only for them to discover that he's dead and cause a panic…what in the world was that? It has lazy and cheap jump scares, and the dialogue is god awful, along with the writing. The doctor says you got to eat Danny. He says why. Doctor says because people are starving all over the world. The heck? How about because if you don't eat you'll die for gods sakes! Terrible movie, one of the worsts I've seen.
