Reception

Lisa Kennedy of Variety reviewed the film positively: "If the sequel is resolutely authentic, it’s because that quartet remains so. Now in their middle years, the subjects face the typical hurdles of adulthood: loss of loved ones, relationship bumps, health care scares. It’s that minuet that makes the film both specific and deeply humane. These journeys haven’t been smooth, but many of the challenges are those of growing older and a little wiser."[1] In a review for IndieWire, Ryan Lattanzio rated the film a B+ and praised the focus: "And this time around, the documentary is less infused with the inherent pain of queerness after the millennium and since and more buoyed by the joys of gender expression and wresting oneself from the fictions of institution."[4] Teo Bugbee selected Beyond the Aggressives as a critic's pick for the New York Times.[5]
