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. |

A little girl must attend a harsh boarding-school while her
father fights in World War I.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Two chaste kisses.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A many-headed monster that screams and throws arrows in
three scenes is very loud and big and scary. There's a war scene with explosions, fallen
bodies, and a man is shown succumbing to poison gas. The headmistress at the school brings
a student to tears with her taunting. A young girl walks over a flimsy board and almost
falls from a great height.
PROFANITY 0 - None. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - War, boarding school, death of a parent, harsh teachers,
poverty vs. wealth, British colonialism, social class.
MESSAGE - Everyone should be treated equally, regardless of skin color or
social status.

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. |
