I was quite surprised to see the level of respect this film had for the subjects, at many points reflecting on the sympathy for children suffering with gender identity.

I think what I appreciated most was that these weren't trick questions, the presenter asked very basic and honest questions - the fact that a univeristy professor was unable to answer simple questions in his own field was very telling. It was a running theme that those who wanted honest discussions were being shut down, lose their careers and even faced imprisonment.

Speaking with an African tribe was also an interesting juxtaposition of societal ideals.

My one criticism is that I wish he had not been able to open the jar of pickles.

The humor here seems to be: hey look, we're old and EDGY! Except it's not edgy and there's nothing inherently funny about being old. Occasionally they do a joke that shows an old person out of touch with the times, which can be funny, but they seem to find a way to mess up those attempts at comedy as well. I really wanted to like this, but I'd prefer if it was actually funny.
