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. |

Alfred Molina is a Cuban released from prison after 20
years who, enroute to be reunited with his family, meets a former prostitute (Marisa
Tomei).
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A couple of glimpses at women's bare breasts. At least five
scenes where we see a man's bare buttocks. In a shower scene, there are about five men
shown from the back (we see buttocks and briefly, barely, glimpse genitals). One character
wears clinging dresses and exposes a great deal of cleavage throughout the film. A woman
dances suggestively grinding her hips against a man. Many passionate kisses and scenes of
fondling and caressing. A man pulls down a woman's skirt exposing her panties. A man
kisses a woman's bare legs, and the woman squeezes his crotch. A suggestion that a woman
is masturbating.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man is shot in the hand and we see a puddle of blood. A
man is kicked and a gun is pointed at his head. A man hits a wall with his fist and breaks
his hand. Some yelling. A woman is scared by a guard dog, screams and runs. A boy is
chased by a man in a car and later is threatened with a knife. A boy runs into glass and
knocks himself out (he is shown with a soiled bandage on his head later).
PROFANITY 5 - Two F-words, several scatological references, and some milder
obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Political prisoners, Cuban refugees, living in a foreign
country.
MESSAGE - You must live and not wait for someone if they might not return.
Sometimes your family are people you are unrelated to by blood or marriage.

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. |
