Why it’s a little special

General audiences

US film rating

Slow, largely observational filmmaking, damaged buildings and environmental themes. Better suited to older children interested in architecture than to a lively family adventure.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
