Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Child exploitation, imprisonment, threatened drowning and grief for a parent. Mild language and jokes about weight and drinking appear.

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