KPop Demon Hunters: what age is it for? 8 alone, 7 with a parent
8 alone, 7 with a parent.
Official US rating: PG; zinema says 8. In France, zinema would say 8.
Alone, or with you
The official US rating is PG; we never go below it, and here we go above: 8. Alone from 8; from 7, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.
The sweet spot: around 8-11, when they start wondering how much of themselves to show others. Why a sweet spot?

- A goodbye that hits hardNear the end, a likable character disappears to save someone else. Nothing violent, but the moment is emotional, and we also learn that the heroine's mother died when she was little.said
- A heroine hiding a secretThe heroine is ashamed of a part of herself that she hides from her friends, and she goes through moments of anxiety. The movie puts that at the heart of the story, until she dares to show who she really is.
