a tiny voice asked as the camera homed in on Theron’s bruised and battered back rising from a bathtub filled with ice cubes.
It was the scene the Wall Street Journal’s Joe Morgenstern (not a fan) called “chillingly beautiful” and “almost worth the price of admission.”
Theron got out of the tub -- clearly not a man -- and poured a glass of vodka.
“Character is choked with a garrote, very visible and intense, lasts for a :30-:60 seconds,” is one note from IMDB’s parents guide.
If the parents say the kids qualify for admission, the theater has to take their word for it.
Here’s a way to improve it: Instead of charging children $3.00 less than adults at R-rated movies, charge them $5.00 more.
But if they just don’t want to pay a babysitter, they’ll stay home and let everyone else enjoy the show. »
