The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2: what age is it for?
Official US rating: PG-13. In France, zinema would say 12.
Alone, or with you
The official US rating is PG-13, and we never go below it. Alone from 13, and not before, even with an adult.
What it's about
As the war between the Capitol and the districts reaches its peak, Katniss Everdeen embarks on a perilous mission to liberate Panem and confront President Snow. Joined by a team of trusted allies, she navigates deadly traps, shifting loyalties, and the heavy cost of rebellion, determined to bring freedom to her people and end the Hunger Games once and for all.
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
- Children bombed at the palace gatesNear the end, children gathered at the gates are hit by bombs disguised as gifts, then the rescuers by a second wave. A loss then strikes the heroine at her closest, and the film does not spare her.shown
- A booby-trapped city, friends who dieThe streets are full of traps: a soldier loses his legs, a wave of black tar, creatures in the sewers that devour a friend. The deaths are in the dark and go fast, but they hit characters you love.shown
- A broken friend who asks to dieThe boy tortured in the previous film no longer controls his actions; he asks for a poison pill to kill himself if needed, and the heroine admits she lied and got her companions killed.said
- Darkness, screams, fearMore than half the film happens in the dark, in whispers; screams, jolts, a grimacing face at the turn of a tunnel.shown
What the movie brings
- Winning a war says nothing about who you have become: the ending asks the question.
- The price of revenge, when it is handed to you.
Watching it together
Warn that this is the hardest of the four, with a scene involving children near the end and a loss that touches the heroine very closely.
at 13 and up
Gale says that in war, killing is not personal. Katniss answers that it is always personal. Who is right?
