Movie Reviews of The Aggressives
Movie Review: Beautifully edited and moving piece!!
Summary: 5 Stars
To the outside world, it is hard to understand. A girl, who looks like a boy, who dates girls. This documentary delves into the world of AG's (or Aggressive women). Even within the gay community, AG's are hard to understand. AG's cross so many economic and sociological boundaries, that is hard to strike a balance. As a feminine woman who loves AG's, this documentary shows that an AG is more than about the walk, the talk, and the clothes. This documentary takes a strong look at what their lives are like on a daily basis. The hurt, the pain, the happiness, and the pride are all on display for everyone to see. In the end, this documentary shows that it is not about what you wear, what you look like, what you do, or who you love. It is about who you are and it was refreshing to see that they were proud of it all.
Summary of The Aggressives
This striking and illuminating documentary explores and exposes the secret subculture of New York lesbians living as "aggressives." Often mistaken for men these women range from pretty tomboys to the blatantly butch boldly creating their own identities outside of society's established sexual categories. Stripped of pretense they lead us to fashion shoots and prison cells to reveal their work lives love lives and social lives including the underground "ball" scene where lesbians compete for lead "AG" status. The resulting documentary is the culmination of five years spent uncovering the "no apologies" lifestyle of six self-defined aggressives as they define their dreams share their most intimate secrets and reveal their deepest fears. The female counterpart to Paris is Burning this heartfelt all-access film exposes the AG community in all its unabashed rough-edged glory and explores its impact on gender identity in the modern world.System Requirements:Running Time: 75 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
