Ratings
At the Revue, we take film ratings seriously. It is not just a matter of law — we see it as being a good neighbour.
Here are the five basic film ratings currently in use in Ontario:
 |
Films with this rating are appropriate for viewers of all ages. |
 |
Parental guidance advised. Content or theme may not be appropriate for all children, especially very young children. |
 |
Deemed suitable for older children. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult (over 18). This rating is perhaps the most confusing: a 12-year-old cannot be admitted if accompanied only by a 16-year-old, even though the 16-year-old may see the film. Films with this rating may contain violence, coarse language, and sexually suggestive content. |
 |
Deemed suitable for adult viewing. Persons under 18 must be accompanied by an adult (over 18). Films with this rating may include explicit violence, coarse language, sexual activity and horror. |
 |
Persons under 18 are not admitted. Content is deemed unsuitable for minors. Films with this rating may contain brutal violence, intense horror, disturbing content and frequent sexual activity. |
