Too Young to Die? (1990) - Parents Guide Movie Rating

MPA: R BBFC: 18 Maturity Rating 18+

BBFC Reason: An abused 15 year old is charged with a murder that carries the death penalty in this fact-based story.

Sex & Nudity

mild

No nudity. Amanda is raped by her step father within the first few minutes of the film. No nudity is shown and nothing explicit.. her being rough and then climbing on top of her. She screams and says not again. Amanda dances in a strip club in a small bikini. No nudity. Amanda climbs into bed with a guy and they presumably have sex (it's also discussed later).

Violence & Gore

severe

An underage girl is raped by her stepfather (see "Sex & Nudity"). He pins her down while she screams. Stabbing, not brutal, no blood shown.

Various expletives including "bitch", "pig", "ass", "stupid", etc., nothing too over-the-top.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

severe

We see frequent alcohol consumption, including cases of beer; a significant number of early scenes are set in a strip club with a built-in bar and drinks; a minor child is served drinks at one point. A girl is given illegal drugs and then made to do a strip dance to earn money. This occurs repeatedly.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

moderate

A girl's husband abandons her, and she is left with no money. She quickly falls prey to a perverted grifter who uses her for sex and fast cash. Amanda is sentenced to death (the method of which is unclear; one character calls it a "gas chamber"). She is seen sobbing as her lawyer hugs her; the execution itself is not shown on-screen. The film then cuts to ending text with informative information about death penalty laws.
