Review of XOXO

XOXO (2016)
3/10
Lacking and Misintrepreting
7 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Upon reading the description I had high hopes for the story and reference to the EDM community. However, high hopes were quickly demolished. References to the EDM community as being a ragtag group of drug heads casts a very high shadow on a very welcoming and accepting group of individuals. This film has done nothing more than to hit home the idea to the general public that EDM fans are nothing more than drug using delinquents. The truth is far from what XOXO has portrayed. The film has left out a major part and foundation of the EDM culture which is to accept one another. Instead, the film has decided to portray a stereotypical view which is that of drugs, sex, and scandalous behavior. Perhaps before making a movie in such a distinct genre, producers and directors alike should dive deeper into such a sub-genre in order to gain a true introspective. Very little evidence based on this film shows that they have not done their research.
