SEX/NUDITY 2 - A little sexual innuendo and a couple of kisses. We see a clothed boy on top of a clothed girl (only his shoulders and her face are visible) and it's implied they're having intercourse (we see a little movement and hear some heavy breathing).

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A person puts their head through a noose and jumps off a counter. During a stage play, we see a severed head on a tray (a woman appears to be kissing it). A few times we see a man grabbing a woman's arm to prevent her from getting out of a car. A man chokes on some food and falls out of his chair; also we hear a boy vomiting and see a man about to vomit. We see a girl with a bloody stain on her nightgown.

LANGUAGE 2 - A couple of mild obscenities and insults.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Abduction, abortion, unwed pregnancy, abandonment, serial killing, isolation, dysfunctional parent/child relationships, forgiveness.

MESSAGE - Malevolence can be disguised as benevolence; sometimes it takes a traumatic experience to make us understand ourselves and our purpose in life.

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.
