Oh, 'XX' was such a wild ride! I remember buzzing about it with friends for weeks after its release. It swept through awards season like a storm—snagged Best Picture at the Golden Globes, and the lead actor’s performance? Absolutely electrifying, earning them a well-deserved Oscar. The cinematography too, those haunting long takes, got recognition at the BAFTAs.
What’s fascinating is how divisive it was among critics despite the accolades. Some called it pretentious; others hailed it as a masterpiece. Personally, I’m in the latter camp—there’s a raw honesty to its storytelling that stuck with me long after the credits rolled.
