A Lot or a Little?The parents' guide to what's in this movie. Show
What Parents Need to KnowParents need to know that Death on the Nile is based on Agatha Christie's same-named mystery novel and is a follow-up to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express. The central figure is a glamorous heiress (Gal Gadot) who marries her best friend's fiancé (Armie Hammer). Racy moments include passionate kissing, references to sex, and the honeymooning couple grinding against each other while fully clothed. As the movie's title suggests, there's a good deal of murder in the story (involving knives and guns), and while it's all meant to shock and startle, only one death is accompanied by blood and packed with emotion. Suicidal ideation and behavior are present, and there's a flashback to wartime battlefield violence and a close-up of a grisly wound (accompanied by a positive message about acceptance). Characters drink throughout, and there are references to smoking. Women are portrayed as intelligent and shrewd, and supporting characters have been updated in a way that reflects a more diverse world than the one Christie wrote about. Community Reviews
February 24, 2022 Good story but not great for kidsAgatha Christie is a great writer and I have enjoyed her books. The story Death on the Nile is an entertaining and good story, but Hollywood has taken too much liberty with the story and has made it inappropriate. There are a number of sexually charged scenes and sexual innuendos in this movie. I took my 14-year-old son to see the movie after finding out the scenes that we need to be careful of. He played games on his phone during the risqué scenes, and I was careful, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. I am going to be reading the book to get the real story. I would suggest waiting for this movie to come out on VidAngel and watching it with filters. 8 people found this helpful. February 22, 2022 Not great!I watched this with my 18 year old daughter. We both thought it was a bit disappointing, having enjoyed Death on the Orient Express. My son,13, also wanted to see it but I was very glad he didn't come with us as there is quite a lot of sexualised "dancing". 7 people found this helpful. What's the Story?In DEATH ON THE NILE, renowned detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) is vacationing among the affluent passengers of the S.S. Karnak, on a river cruise touring Egypt's famous river. When a fellow passenger is found murdered on board, Poirot is appointed to suss out the killer before they can strike again. Is It Any Good?Branagh's second Agatha Christie adaptation is much like Hercule Poirot's marvelous mustache: historical, eccentric, and multidirectional. But it's not a shoo-in for younger viewers. Even though Branagh attempts to bring Poirot down to earth, sharing the sleuth's backstory to explain his extravagant facial hair (and why there's no Mrs. Poirot), teens may find the finicky, narcissistic detective difficult to connect with. Also, the dialogue assumes that viewers understand matters that would have been familiar fare in 1937, such as being pro-Communism, what a dowry is, and why an entire wedding party would accompany newlyweds on their honeymoon. That's great conversation-starter fare, perhaps making Death on the Nile a better choice for a family watch-together than a slumber party pick. On the upside, Death on the Nile may help solve the mystery of how to get kids more engaged with geography and/or world history. The phenomenal Egyptian landscape is showcased in crisp cinematography. Scenes with the Pyramids of Giza and Abu Simbel temple are striking, memorable, and inviting, and seeing characters interact with these landmarks might spark kids' curiosity about the locations. For those who are already familiar with this particular story, some changes have been made to Christie's novel to present a fresh take: It slims down the number of murder suspects and is purposely more diverse than the source material. But it's not necessarily better. Like Poirot's facial grooming, this version is just different. Talk to Your Kids About ...
