A heartwarming tale from Charles Dickens. The only things that need be concerned about is the violence and innuendo. The innuendo consists of an old man trying to seduce a young woman, many times. However, this is not graphic and the woman refuses every time, there is also a childbirth scene. The violence shows the way they treated young boys in boarding schools. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time!

Great for preteens and up--filled with good values
I and my family loved this movie. Aside from great acting and cinematography, it was a beautiful expression of the values I hold most dear--integrity, family loyalty, forgiveness. It also manages to be quite funny. The child-abuse scenes are scary, though, as is the non-graphic suicide scene, so it is for tough preteens--but a great pick for teens. Also loved the music! Nothing to dislike about this movie.

Good for older teens but violent for tweens
A great story and fantastic acting!!!! The movie as a whole was fantastic but there were many child abuse scenes and sad deaths of characters. Not very graphic at all but sometimes hard to watch.
