Best For Ages
PG-13. This recommendation is based on the presence of moderate fantastical violence, implied romantic elements and discussions of identity that some may interpret as gender identity exploration, occasional mild profanity, and suspenseful sequences. While there is no explicit graphic content, the film's darker thematic elements and mild mature themes suggest it is best suited for teenagers and up, or younger viewers with parental guidance.
Good to Know
