BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Intense illness and apparent death, medical procedures, government pursuit, family separation, drinking, and some strong language.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
