Jane.
Learning by watching.

BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY

Animal conflict, death and other natural behaviors, plus brief smoking. The film is thoughtful and sometimes emotionally demanding.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
