B+

A heartfelt and hopeful portrait of four of the original AGs that feels more complete and finds each of them on steadier footing -- eventually.

In each of these updates, Peddle hews close to his original film’s style: he asks his subjects to define themselves and then he keeps watching, letting their actions color in the lines of their self-definition.

7/10

[Beyond the Aggressives is] a document to the fact that the world is a place of infinite variety, and trying to force reality into a small number of categories will always end in failure.

A wonderful and heart warming sequel to mind-opening and mind-blowing original. I did not expect to be as moved as I was. Endearing characters, overcoming struggles, learning to be happy. You can't help but root for these people. I hope we can revisit them in a few years. Just excellent.

A beautiful and heart-wrenching follow up to the original Aggressives. Seeing how each of their stories progressed gives an even greater context to the struggles and hardships they've overcome makes the impact even greater and their legacy cemented.

A great film. If you haven't seen the first one, check out that one, and then this follow up. Both are fantastic pieces about people, and life.
