not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

The official US rating is PG-13, and we never go below it. Alone from 13, and not before, even with an adult.

The sweet spot: around 13-14, when you have seen Infinity War and are ready to say goodbye to two heroes, for three hours. Why a sweet spot?

Official US rating: PG-13. In France, zinema would say 12.

What it's about

After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War, the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.

Why 13

The official rating, firstRated PG-13 in the US (parents strongly cautioned, some material may be inappropriate for children under 13). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
Two heroes who die for goodNatasha throws herself off a cliff for the stone, before her friend's eyes; Tony Stark dies burned by the gauntlet in front of his wife, his funeral closes the film. Thanos beheaded at the opening, turned to dust at the end.
An hour-long final battleEvery army from ten years of films on a field of ruins; creatures, ships, marked faces; a three-hour film. Without blood.
A depressed Thor, swearingAn obese, alcoholic Thor playing video games, grief handled through comedy; thirty-two swear words.

What the movie brings

The end of ten years of stories, with a real farewell: children who grew up with it cry.
Time travel as a treasure hunt through the older films.
Thor who lost everything and remains worthy of being Thor: a word about depression, in passing.

Watching it together

Before

Warn about Natasha and about Tony's end; an eleven-year-old who saw Infinity War must see this one with you, and will cry.

After

at 13 and up

Tony has everything to be happy and still goes back to save the others: what makes you go when you could stay?
