"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Primary Colors | 1998 | R | - 3.2.8
Thinly-veiled, satiric account of Bill Clinton's campaign for president; based on the eponymous bestseller.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A couple in bed, obviously naked and after sex but all we see are bare shoulders and the side of her breast. A man touches a woman's clothed breasts. A couple of scantily clad women. A kiss between lesbians. More kissing and sexual innuendo (including a man who flashes a woman although we don't see anything and innuendo regarding extramarital affairs).
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A corpse post-suicide. A couple of face slaps. A key is thrown at someone's head. Reckless driving. Some scuffles.
LANGUAGE 8 - About 70 F-words, many anatomical references, mild obscenities and scatological references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Political campaigning, infidelity, the media, the Presidency.
MESSAGE - It takes a lot of spin and a certain moral flexibility to win elected office.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
