VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Children are depicted fighting children, often brutally. A boy is kicked in the head. Fires are set. Kids are shot with odd contraptions. Lots of punching. One father fights another after his son is threatened. Boys are placed in life-threatening situations: jumping off cliffs, falling through decayed roofs, and swimming through some sort of water system that sucks bodies downward.
LANGUAGE 3 - A few scatological terms are used by children.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Welfare vs. workfare, war and violence.
MESSAGE - Make friends with your enemies and at least turn the other cheek.
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.
Moana 2 - 1.3.1
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
