The Aggressives

View Date: 8/21/09

This documentary is about butch lesbians, particularly those who choose to dress masculinely. Those profiled tend to take the more dominant (traditionally masculine) role in their relationships. Several were living as males, and some competed in the masculine divisions of shows. The filming followed them through several months, and did a follow-up some time later.

As is often the case, I found some of the stories much more interesting than others. But in general, this film just couldn't hold my attention. I had a really hard time getting through it, and had to force myself to keep watching.
