[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1087742, member: 72205"] Please note with what I'm about to say ultimately Your kid, Your decisions, Every children is different and I don't have children so please don't take this a judgement on yourself , I'm just trying to impart some knowledge with a little opinion. The BBFC usually judge a 12A certificate at the lower barrier of 8+ (this is what use to be said they no longer say anything on their website) there is also a fundamental difference between home viewing and cinema viewing which is the ability to pause and talk to a child that may have seen something either they or the parent wish to give context to. All films given a classification have detailed notes on the BBFC website of what the actual film contains to help better inform the audience [URL]https://www.bbfc.co.uk/release/doctor-strange-in-the-multiverse-of-madness-q29sbgvjdglvbjpwwc0xmdaynzc2[/URL] I use this for 18 rated horror films a genre that after watching the US remake of The Grudge and proceeded to walk alone to home at night I do because it scared me witless. Hopefully this will help in future but may lead to spoilers for yourself. On a personal note I bloody hate the 12A rating, had more than one showing of a film where parents have taken kids who were not okay with it (usually this a long ass 'boring' film so the kid start mis behaving). Should note poor behaviour isn't limited to kids had way more issues with over 60's giving running commentaries of films over the years.
