Key opinion
XX is an atmospheric horror anthology directed entirely by women, praised for its unique premises and unsettling themes. While the segments are creatively ambitious, the collection suffers from uneven execution and inconsistent storytelling across its four parts.
| Originality | The anthology is uniformly recognized for its unique vision as a project showcasing exclusively female directors. | |
| Emotion | The shorts effectively cultivate a persistent, disturbing sense of dread and surrealism throughout the runtime. | |
| Acting | Performances from the cast, including the child actors, are handled with convincing skill despite the low-budget constraints. | |
| Screenplay | Opinions on the narrative quality are divided: some appreciate the intriguing, dark concepts, while others find the plots thin or lacking in resolution. | |
| Pacing | The anthology's overall cohesion is contested; some view the distinct premises as an asset, whereas others find the varying quality between segments to be a significant flaw. |
