US film rating

Parental death, cruelty by guardians, bullying, a frightening troll, a threatening forest, and a disturbing final confrontation. Some scenes can be intense for younger viewers.

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