The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)

One physical scuffle between brothers.

Two experimental comic student films show bare female breasts and simulated mock sexual intercourse, in quick cuts for shock value.

Lots of swearing and obscenities. Multiple uses of "f--k," "s--t," "a--hole," "pr--k," "goddammit," "son of a bitch," "c--k," "blow you," "d--k."

One central character is an alcoholic; she's seen drinking and drunk. Other characters engage in occasional social drinking. One man refers to a past history of drug use. In one instance, two brothers comically consume an "upper" and a "downer," with no visible consequences.

Parents need to know that The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) is a heartfelt comedy-drama with characters and situations that feel real and very human, even as they are quirky and exaggerated. It's a film for grown-ups, about grown-up emotions and family relationships fraught with conflict. Writer-director Noah Baumbach finds laughs in the tragedy of a mixed-up, multigenerational clan with a history of mistakes and disappointments, headed by a narcissistic father as compelling as he is manipulative. Expect frequent outbursts of swearing and obscenities, including "ass," "damn," "pr--k," "d--k," "son of a bitch," "penis," "masturbation," and multiple uses of "f--k" and "s--t." One scene describes a young girl's encounter with a sexual exhibitionist. A college-age filmmaker makes offbeat films that show bare breasts and farcical sexual behavior. A central character, an alcoholic, is seen drinking, drunk, and driving while drunk. Though this film is intended for adult audiences, some mature teens may enjoy it as well.
