"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Mrs. Brown | 1997 | PG | - 2.2.1
Based on the true story of Queen Victoria and the special friendship she shared with servant John Brown. Dame Judi Dench and Billy Connolly star.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A man and woman kiss each other's hands. Two naked men, seen from the side and back, run into the ocean.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A man fires a shot into the woods. A man waving a gun runs toward a group of people (we later learn the gun was fake). A man dies peacefully in his bed. A group of men punch and kick a man; we see his bloody face right after he's been beaten, and the next day we see his bruised and cut face and torso. Many shots are fired at an animal, and although nothing else is shown, it's suggested that the animal was killed.
LANGUAGE 1 - A couple anatomical references, one scatological reference and one mild obscenity.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Grieving the death of a spouse, the British monarchy, forbidden love, loyalty.
MESSAGE - Love and loyalty can transcend class boundaries.
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.
