I saw this with my partner who has lost her parents and our ten your old (for me, step) son. I already knew going in, being skeptical of Pixar sequels, that this one on paper made sense. And indeed it makes sense, as a second chapter in the story of Riley growing up. Becoming a teen. Going through puberty.
But more than that, it stands on its own in sketching out how we are complex, feeling humans. How, yes, puberty is a roadblock. But more than that how we are all the sum of our lived experiences and emotions and how we are not at all really in control of them. But how they all make up our flawed human existence.
And that's a pretty cool thing to explore in a family movie.
