Family guide to new movie releases
Published in Parenting News
SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE
Rated PG-13 for thematic material, some sexuality, strong language and smoking.
What it’s about: A focused look at the writing of Bruce Springsteen's iconic 1982 album, "Nebraska."
The kid attractor factor: This is an adult drama that deals with mature themes, not really much appeal for kids.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Receive the help when you need it. Some creative endeavors are harrowing experiences into the darkest part of the soul.
Violence: Some discussion of real life murders and movie violence.
Language: Some swearing and strong language
Sex: A sex scene but no nudity.
Drugs: Smoking and drinking.
Parents’ advisory: While it appeals more to adults and older audiences, it's fine for teens and older kids (if interested).
BUGONIA
Rated R for bloody violent content including a suicide, grisly images and language.
What it’s about: A conspiracy-obsessed loner kidnaps a CEO of a biomedical company because he believes she's an alien.
The kid attractor factor: Not much -- this is more of an intense, weird, freakout drama about the end of the world.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Conspiracy theories can be the result of intense trauma.
Violence: Some extreme bloody violence, grisly images, wrestling, fighting, shooting, explosions, etc.
Language: Swearing
Sex: None
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: Too intense for kids, probably fine for teens.
