"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
The Playboys | 1992 | PG-13 | - 2.4.2
Robin Wright stars as a woman who has a baby out of wedlock in 1950's Ireland.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A pregnant woman's water breaks and we see it. She walks about in a house dress or a slip. No nudity. A villager pays one of the show women to see her breasts, we don't see them. Intimated sex in a trailer (it's vibrating).
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - One of the characters commits suicide by using a shotgun, we don't see the result, other than a lot of blood.
LANGUAGE 2 - Some anatomical language.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Unwed motherhood. IRA and political problems.
MESSAGE - Robin Wright plays an independent young woman who has a right to do whatever she wants, including having a baby when she is not married. Obsession is self-destruction.
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.
