Intense ScenesModerateNone Mild Moderate Severe
Read details
The film overall is very intense-especially the scenes of violence.
The film is directed in a way that it looks like a documentary, so the violence in the film is very realistic and therefore quite disturbing.
A crowd at a bombed racetrack attacks a child, trying to lynch him while French security guards rescue him and try to calm the crowd.
Young children may be disturbed by the theme of terrorists.
