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 teenager is discovered to have quasi-supernatural powers
and a small-town reacts with disbelief and revulsion.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Some bare-chested men, a couple of kisses and a couple of
sexual references. A man is naked in an extended scene, but all we see are his behind and
chest.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A woman is shown being struck by lightning. A man is
threatened with a gun. A man is struck by electricity and his body shakes. Lightning
causes a few boys to fall down. There are scenes where schoolboys taunt another boy, and
he is yelled at and pushed around. We see a deer dying and there is a small, bloody hole
on its chest. A man starts yelling and seems to have seizure.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, one variation on the F-word, some scatological
references, some mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Being an albino, abandonment, supernatural powers, distrust,
small-town life.
MESSAGE - Our technology has outstripped our capacity to be humane. But,
there is still hope.

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. |
