Romantic. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Prime Video, The Roku Channel (free) and Tubi (free).
Some innuendo or implied sex, which is more than most PG titles carry. Beyond that, no swearing and nothing scary.
Our estimate: fine from about 10. Rated PG.
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.
In 19th century New York high society, a young lawyer falls in love with a woman separated from her husband, while he is engaged to the woman's cousin.
