What It Suggests

That this film is not yet rated. Pretty simple stuff.

The Truth

The film - which is about the Motion Picture Association of America's rating system and its effect on American culture - has actually been rated several times.

Initially, the MPAA gave it an NC-17 rating, because it featured "some graphic sexual content," because the film-makers had chosen to illustrate the kind of material that would see an NC-17 rating applied. Director Kirby Dick appealed and the final cut is not rated.

But it still is in Canada, where it was given a 14A rating and in the UK, where the BBFC gave it an 18 rating. The ruddy spoilsports.
