Film ratings

Film ratings are classifications assigned by official bodies, like the MPAA in the U.S., to indicate the suitability of a movie for different audiences. These ratings consider content such as violence, language, nudity, and adult themes. Common ratings include G (General audiences), PG (Parental guidance suggested), PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned), R (Restricted, viewers under 17 need an adult), and NC-17 (Adults only). They help viewers, especially parents, decide if a film aligns with their preferences or age-appropriate standards, ensuring informed choices about what to watch.
