Swedish censorship / rating

Certificate number 201840
Date 2013-11-06
Classification Allowed from age 11
Notes Digitalfil.
Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av upprörda gräl, tumult med skrikande människor och en utsatt kvinna som hålls fast och släpas våldsamt ut mot sin vilja. Detta i kombination med uppslitande avslöjanden och en underliggande hotfull stämning kan väcka oro och verka förvirrande vilket bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn under 11 år.
