A wooden boy's magical awakening unfolds into a gritty, epic adventure during fascism's rise in Italy.
Melancholy. A family watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is devastating.
Streaming on Netflix.
Strong violence and light gore, which is more than most PG titles carry. Beyond that, mild language and a few tense moments.
Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the PG suggests, because of the violence.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
During the rise of fascism in Mussolini's Italy, a wooden boy brought magically to life struggles to live up to his father's expectations.
