Good, but SHOCKED at the violence
This was an overall good movie with an a good storyline. But the amount violence in this ruined the entire thing. The main character is literally raped violently and graphically. It made me sick in my stomach to the point where i didn’t want to watch the rest. Even though the horrific act done by the man was horrible, it is used as an important part of the storyline. Other than that the movie was very good, but not recommended for younger viewers. As a fifteen year old myself, i wish I didn’t watch this movie this young.

Great for mature children or anyone over the age of 12
As someone who read the book I was pleasantly surprised when my friend informed me it would be a movie. I figured I could take the 13 year old i nannied for as long as her parents said it was ok. They said yes and we set off to the theatre. There were so many amazing powerful women ,such as Kya, in the movie. We both loved it and it was a very great thing to do on a blazing hot Oklahoma day! Amiright???

Maturity is not a matter of age, but instead, of how you choose to respond and react to various life situations. It is essentially a level of mental development or wisdom that has a bearing on all areas of an individual's life, right from their conduct to their relationship with others. (Don't take this review down seriously!)

consider teens maturity
amazing movie!!! coming from an older teen- if a 13 year old (or younger teen) would see it just consider their maturity , since it does depict sexual instances (no nudity) and also an attempted rape. a few harsher swear words, not a distracting amount though. overall fantastic story and beautiful scenery. book is also fantastic!!!

DO NOT SCROLL !!! NEED TO KNOW!!!
This is an amazing film !! I’ve read the book and it could have been really different . There is two sex scenes and one attempted rape. There is also lots of fighting. I don’t really think age matters to much but that it comes down to the maturity of your child. I would recommend , based on the average maturity for the age, 14 or 13 years old . This is an fantastic movie and I plan on seeing it again !!

kept me entertained
i actually was really enthralled in this movie, though i will say if you’re triggered by sexual assault and domestic violence it’s probably a no-go. (however i’m triggered by SA and it didn’t get to me too much). overall really good movie. it also unearths how terrible the 50s and 60s were for women and girls.

Great movie!
It was very true to the book, including the North Carolina marsh theme and the murder. There is some hitting, cussing, some sex scenes (a woman gets sexually assaulted one time), and drinking/partying, but overall I really liked it!

Depends rather on maturity
The movie was beautiful, from cinematography to acting, they did a great job. When it comes to the maturity rating, the movie contained some curse words yet they were quite delicate. There were a couple sex scenes but they were only from neck up, now if a child knows what is going on I do think it should be 13+ yet if someone is less mature when it comes to sex scenes I would say 15+ of course it depends on the child which means it’s harder to age rate such a movie. The Film contains themes of SA and domestic violence, I don’t think that such themes were presented very harshly but they were heavy through the end of the movie. Drugs weren’t a heavy topic only a cigarette or two present.
