R-rated film

An R-rated film is a movie classified by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) that contains content unsuitable for viewers under 17 without an adult guardian. This rating indicates the film may include strong language, intense or explicit violence, sexual content, or drug use. The purpose is to inform audiences about mature themes so they can decide if the material is appropriate. While not a ban, it suggests parental discretion for minors. The R rating helps guide viewers and parents in making informed choices about the film's suitability based on its content.
