Written and Directed by: Martin McDonagh
Starring: Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, Clemence Poesy, Jordan Prentice
Rated: Rated R for strong bloody violence, pervasive language, and some drug use.
Parental Notes: This is not a film for youngsters. The violence in it is graphic in a realistic way rather than a cartoony one, and thus fairly disturbing.
Written and Directed by: Darren Aronofsky
Starring: Rachel Weisz, Hugh Jackman, Ellen Burstyn, Mark Margolis
Rated: PG-13 for some intense sequences of violent action, some sensuality and language. (edited for re-rating; originally R)
Parental notes: This is a reasonable PG-13 film, but because of its philosophical nature it will likely not appeal to preteens.
