Parents are urged to be cautious. Some material may be inappropriate for pre-teenagers. While The Motion Picture Association of America recommends that children under 13 do not see PG-13 movies, there is no magical age.

The 12a film rating replaced the 12 rating in 2002 which enables children to see more graphic films at the cinema if accompanied by an adult. 12 with Parental Guidance (12A) means that the BBFC (The British Board of Film Classification) have classified the film unsuitable for children under 12.

(12A) 12A No-one younger than 12 may see a ’12A’ film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Responsibility for allowing under-12s to view lies with the accompanying or supervising adult. (15) 15 No-one younger than 15 may see a ’15’ film in a cinema.

Films rated 12A are suitable for children aged 12 and over. However, people younger than 12 may see a 12A so long as they are accompanied by an adult. In such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult. The 12 rating is only found on videos and DVDs.

No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child. No one younger than 15 may see a 15 film in a cinema.

Lydia. Lisa Jakub, 38, played Robin and Sally Field’s oldest child Lydia – and was just 14 when the hit film came out.

The restrictions set by the Us ratings board mean the F-word can only be used once in a PG-13 movie.

In September 1990, the MPAA introduced the rating “NC-17” (“No Children Under 17 Admitted”). Rated PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned – Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Rated R: Restricted – Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. Rated NC-17: No children under 17 admitted.

These days, movie theaters aren’t showing any NC-17 movie because is illegal, and the adult demographic is skyrocketing, we get a lot of rated R movies. In some countries, the 18 certificate is the hardest movie rating. Owning any NC-17, Banned, Unrated or Not Rated movie is illegal.

That means no one 17 or under will be admitted into a theater showing “Killer Joe,” and it means some theater chains won’t even play the film. Some newspapers won’t carry ads for it, and some retailers won’t sell it on DVD.
