Audience Member Not much I havent already said about this amazing and ultimate journey that these individuals have allowed us to share with them. It is interesting hearing many reflect back on how they wish they had never gotten involved with this project, while still admitting they can recognize the value in this, or reason the reception has been so positive through the years. Bruce probably underwent some of the biggest changes welcoming two kids since the last update at 42, a reveal which had me cheering like I was watching a sporting event, and transferring to a prestigious prep school after a lifetime of socialist leaning inspired championing for the under privileged. I was happy to see John back too and found him more likable in this segment than he has been in any one previous. Tony is still living his best life and I was happy to see him and his wife getting on still, and as grandparents now. Neil seems to be doing progressively better finding his niche, which is all anyone could have hoped for after seeing the clips from 21-35 yr old Neil. This is the third film now with no mention or update of Peter, which I find odd as even Charles has been mentioned each film and has not participated since he was 21. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review david f A great documentary. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The highlight is a disagreement between the director and one of his subjects. That makes for the most interesting viewing. Not much has changed between 42 and 49 to be honest. Still, nowhere near enough focus on issues for my liking Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I definitely don't think this series was meant to be binge-watched. It's almost too much to wrap your mind around. It's crazy how many of the participants are upset about being on the series when it doesn't seem like it goes THAT deep to me. I still love it.
