Perfect for older kids, but not for tweens
The only thing that really affects my opinion is the obvious rape scene between two of the main charaters.

A beautiful film, but honestly not for kids, not because they can't handle it but because they won't like it and the sex scenes are slightly graphic (no hardcore nudity but still...). They also probably won't understand the meaning of a mistress or illegitimate children. They probably won't understand the need for male children in the 18th century. But it is still a good film!

An insight into a woman' s life in the 18th century- enjoy the film and approach with a mature attitude.

Great Costumes
I love Keira Knightley's acting and the costumes but the sexual content was rather disturbing. There was a little too much nudity. The sexual content was intense, especially the graphic rape scene. If the directors could have stripped this movie of it's sexual content it would be a funny delightful movie.

Lots of Sex....
This film, a great one at that, would probably not be enjoyed by younger kids. They would probably think that it is too boring. I am 15 years old and I thought it was pretty boring. Other than the movie being boring, I thought that there was a lot of sex for a pg-13 movie. There were probably 5 or more sex scenes in it and most of the movie revolved around it. Also, there is a rape scene in the movie between the 2 main characters. Just be sure to talk about the movie before and after with your kids. If you really want to watch this film with your kids, just be weary about the sex scenes because they will probably be too intense for them.
