X is a decent film. It's a pretty basic horror movie with too many sex scenes. The directing here is solid but nothing extraordinary. The cast is what really makes the movie memorable. The entire cast is great and they all add to their characters. Mia Goth is phenomenal as the lead and it's easy to tell why everyone was talking about her after this movie. What's really impressive is how she played the older woman, Pearl, as well. That was really cool and I didn't even realize it was her until the credits. The makeup team deserves a lot of crest for that too, it was awesome. The movie also had good world building and set up the time period well. I liked a good amount of the movie but towards the end it got a little too disturbing and the kills became pretty lazy. It's not a masterpiece but I think it's a fun time for the most part. It's worth a watch because of the performances and atmosphere. The movie also gets better and more interesting after watching the prequel film, Pearl. 7/10.
