ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

Suzy Amis stars as a woman who disguises herself as a man
in order to survive the rough, sexist world of 1866.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - There are a couple of brief love scenes: the participants are
topless. There's also an opaque mirror reflection of a nude woman, and another woman is
shown in a sheer negligee. Men are shown taking turns in visiting prostitutes. There's an
attempted rape, which is halted when the woman pulls a gun. References to oral
intercourse.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A woman slashes her face with a straight razor; we hear
her scream and see the resulting scar. A man cuts a woman's face, and we see some blood. A
number of people are shot, some in slow motion. A family is shown after being massacred,
and one woman is shot in the back while she's running away. A couple of sheep are shown
after an encounter with a wolf; we then see the wolf being shot.
PROFANITY 3 - Some scatological language, some cussing and some sexually
explicit references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Pregnancy out of wedlock, premarital sex, loneliness, opium
use, gender-bending.
MESSAGE - Women are equal to men; and, they can be as tough as men.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
