The Mother parents guide: Is Jennifer Lopez’s latest movie family-friendly?

Jennifer Lopez has a new movie out this weekend, and fans are looking forward to checking it out, especially since it’s a change of pace from her more lighthearted fare like the recent Amazon film Shotgun Wedding. On Netflix, Lopez will be putting on her butt-kicking clothes to go after dangerous assailants when they threaten her daughter in The Mother.

Most of the actor/singer’s movies are skewed toward adults, especially in recent years with films like Hustlers and The Boy Next Door. The Mother is an R-rated action drama that also stars Joseph Fiennes, Omari Hardwick, and Gael García Bernal.

For those who were looking forward to watching this movie this weekend with kids, you might want to think twice because The Mother has a lot of graphic content that might be too much for younger viewers to watch. Below we’ve included detailed information on the film’s age rating and a content guide so you can assess whether or not this is the right film for you!

Anyone preparing to watch The Mother should be aware that the film has a lot of violence, and some scenes are pretty graphic. There is a substantial amount of blood and blood splattering in the movie, including some torture scenes.

Some of the deaths that occur might make squeamish people uncomfortable, especially moments that include stabbing, slicing, and some headshots. For those who don’t like animal cruelty, there is also a scene showing a wounded wolf.

The violent content is the most prevalent aspect of the film, but there is also strong language used throughout. There isn’t any nudity.
