The thing to know: moderate sex and nudity, more than a PG-13 usually carries. Beyond that, mild language and strong 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.
