BBFC RATING

We have decided to rate our film opening a bbfc 15, and therefore not suitable for children under 15, because it will include the following off the bbfc specification.

 Strong violence

 Brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence 

According to bbfc in a 15 rating film it is acceptable that there can be:

• Strong threat and horror as long as there is no sustained focus on sadistic or sexualised threat.

• The depiction of easily accessible weapons depending on factors such as realism, context and setting

• Any portrayal depiction of sexual violence must be discreet and justified by context.

Our opening includes sexual violence, but it is not explicit. However the context and storyline of the opening could be disturbing for a young audience, and covers adult themes such as domestic abuse. Therefore a 15 would be the most appropriate rating.
