This is rated TV-PG on HBO Max. I’m all for showing kids cinema early but this might be pushing the boundary. Between the f-bombs and the full bush, it seems the standards were very European.
Ngl, the “Tunic (Song for Karen)” scene may account for an entire star of this rating. One of the greatest songs from one of the greatest bands. Goo is a top 10 album for me lol oh yeah felt like a very impactful moment for the film too! lmao
Loved the concept. Seemed very ahead of its time!
