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. |

In this Brazilian drama (in Portuguese, with English subtitles), a woman begrudgingly
helps a young boy find his long lost father after the boy's mother is killed. Starring
Fernanda Montenegro, Vinicius de Oliveira, Marilia Pera, Soia Lira, Othon Bastos, Otavio
Augusto, Stela Freitas, Matheus Nachtergaele and Caio Junqueira.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo. A woman wears cleavage-revealing outfits and
we see a woman in her slip twice.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A woman is hit by a bus and killed; we see her slightly
bloody arm, then her entire body lying underneath the bus. From a distance, we see a man
shoot and kill another man. A woman tells another about an organization that kills
children and sells their organs. A woman grabs and pulls another woman by the arm, ripping
her shirt. We see and hear a man and a boy urinating.
PROFANITY 6 - We read 3 F-words, many anatomical references, a few
scatological references, many mild obscenities, a few slang terms and several insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Death, abandonment, hope, stealing, lying.
MESSAGE - Even if your own dreams never materialized, you should encourage
others to follows theirs; it's quite possible they could come true.

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. |
