Why We Rated This for Ages 13 and Up

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Characters often behave in calculated ways -- including using other people -- to advance their own political agendas or careers. Characters do have strong political ideals and dreams, although those ideals don't always make things better for a country's citizens.
• Violence:

  Political rioting and unrest are depicted throughout the movie, including scenes where soldiers are shown beating protesters. An earthquake ravages a town; bloody victims are shown in various states of injury. A girl is grief-stricken over the death of her father; she and her mother and siblings, however, are banned from his funeral by the man's legal wife because the children are bastards.
• Sex:

  A married tango singer is having an affair with a younger woman. They are shown in bed together. A musical number implies that the same woman later goes through a string of lovers in order to advance her career. A high-ranking military official has a much younger lover, who looks like she's still a teenager. No sex is shown, but his new girlfriend kicks her out of his bed and home.
• Language:

  Some profanity, including "bitch," and a gesture that means "f--k you."
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Characters are seen drinking cocktails.
