Parents guide

Rape is the main theme of the movie and is discussed in graphic detail through many points of view.

Mayella's testimony is very graphic and disturbing.

Rape is said multiple times.

Moderate.

Mayellas testimony is very graphic and possibly disturbing. If you decide to watch with kids 100 percent skip this scene.

Most likely would not interest kids but if you do decide that this is not to mature go ahead (ps I asked around and this is not none it is moderate.

The film is based around a black man being charged with the rape of a white girl. This is mentioned and discussed throughout, but euphemistically as "taking advantage."

Two children are assaulted at night in a wooded area by an alcoholic white man. Implication is this man might have been a serial sexual predator, or least intended to physically assault the children in some manner. He is interrupted and stopped. No sex or nudity.

The rape trial is quite disturbing.

Some sexual violence is described during witness accounts in the courtroom scene, but it is undetailed and fairly mild (only 'punching' and 'hitting' is mentioned) and will not offend.

A fight is heard in which somebody dies. The fight is heard but not seen.

A rabid dog is shot, but it is unlikely to upset the viewer since it was shot at a great distance and it's injuries are not visible in the scene.

A kid at the end of the film is nearly killed.

There is talk about someone slashing his father's leg.

One easy to miss use of "ass"

Throughout the film (much more near the end) the "N" word is spoken a dozen or more times, this could offend people.

Some cigarette smoking is seen.

A drunk man is seen approaching a car with two young children in it in an assaulting manner creating great fear in the car and the scene.

When the car leaves, a man is seen staggering in the driveway with a bottle of alcohol in his hand.

There is one scene where a mob tries to take an accused black man from his jail cell.

There are numerous suspenseful situations that the actors find themselves in.

Children wander the streets and forest at night and are pursued by shadows.

A boy's arm is broken by another character toward the end of the film, but only some tussling is shown.

A rabid dog is shot at great distance but the dogs injuries aren't shown onscreen.

A character is described as having a kitchen knife up under their ribs.
