XX (2017)

My rating: 4/10

You know, the title makes a lot of sense once you realize that almost every short in this anthology is very specifically about the biological aspect of (cis) womanhood - three out of four protagonists don't really have a role or personality beyond "Mom" (actually, make that four out of five, because even the stop motion dollhouse in the transitions ended up having a kid), and the fourth only doesn't because she's barely a character at all and just there to turn into a monster for no adequately explained reason. I'm all for more diverse voices in my entertainment, but weirdly enough, these all sounded pretty much the same.
