‘Dom Hemingway’, ‘Frozen’, ‘Fading Gigolo’ and ‘The Book Thief’ in Today’s MPAA Ratings

We’ll begin today’s MPAA ratings bulletin with the unsurprising R-rating for the profanity-heavy Dom Hemingway, which I saw, enjoyed and reviewed at the Toronto Film Festival this year. Another film I saw in Toronto that also received an R-rating, though I can’t seem to remember what was so “R rated” about it is John Turturro‘s Fading Gigolo. The reason for the rating is listed as “some sexual content, language and brief nudity,” and it’s just a little surprising all that “some” and some “brief” nudity gets an R when I don’t remember anything all that offensive at all. You can read my review right here.

Next is the upcoming Fox title The Book Thief based on the best selling novel and it gets a none-too-surprising PG-13 rating while Disney’s upcoming animated feature Frozen scores a PG.

I’ve listed the complete bulletin directly below.
