  Literal worst movie I have ever seen. Worst acting worst writing worst cinematography worst lighting. I would not recommend this to my worst enemy. Fuck everyone involved. I hate movies.

  Mark playing the most insufferable character known to man but also being the sluttiest……. a win is a win. The central performances were excellent though!

  Review by Brad Henderson ½

  Some of Claire Denis’ films get tossed in an incinerator in this movie so beware. 

  These types of films where our lead is surrounded by women that want to fuck him always seems like some sort of daydream for our writer/director to play out their ultimate fantasy. Typically our male is insufferable and a piece of shit but all the women don’t care, toss their lives to the side, and just want to fuck.

  This is one of those movies. Never hated Mark Ruffalo until this shit.

  Review by Cinema_Snobb ★★★½

  Three friends meet at a college party. They begin an intimate relationship that quickly dissolves into jealousy and suspicions.

  Several years go by and they have all moved on. But when they all meet up again they find how easy it is to fall back into the same ditches.

  Very well acted and thoughtful.

  Review by Jake Savage ★★★★

  It's not really a surprise that a lot of people hate this because it feels really corny and awkward at times (for example, Mark Ruffalo has a handlebar mustache for half of the film) but it is actually sort of perfect. Like a half-conscious melding of Rohmer and Wong. Sex is terrible, but feelings are way worse and most importantly, men are super clueless.

  Review by Eli ½

  In this movie a man tells the main character that he saw a movie of his once, then proceeds to tell him how much it sucked and he wants his money back. It seemed like some cruel joke on the viewer because, let's just say that someday I hope to meet the asshole that made XX/XY. Just because you're making an indie film about love and loss, doesn't mean you don't need a story other than "everyone's an asshole."

  Review by Hugh Guiney ★★

  Good movie to fall asleep to. Worth checking out only to witness Ruffalo’s talent (and butt) despite unsympathetic character, and to remember that pay phones, dictionaries, and VHS tapes were all still things in the early 2000s.

  Review by Ben Trout ★★½

  Alright, I'd watch Mark Ruffalo read the dictionary (and at one point in, in desperate search for the definition of "rife", he does) - but this sloppy moral tale of a bare midriff magazine ad posing as a "relationship study" caters just a bit too much to the audience's hunger for hot, fantasy sex on film to be anything close to the honesty it seems to believe it has re-discovered. The confrontation on the pier between Ruffalo and his present day girlfriend - Claire (it's a family name) - is just about the silliest fucking thing I've seen on film this year. (Still, hot fantasy sex is hot fantasy sex, after all).
