Consumer Advice

Contains mild distress

Extended Classification Information

'My Father, My Lord' is an Israeli film about an orthodox rabbi who experiences personal tragedy during a family trip to the Dead Sea. The film contains mild distress.

The film revolves around the distress caused as a boy wanders into the Dead Sea and is never seen again. His parents become frantic, rescue services are called, it is revealed that the boy has drowned and we see his covered body loaded into an ambulance. The presentation of the parents' anguish and subsequent grief during the bereavement period lacks reassuring counterbalances, but the narrative is handled with discretion and restraint. There is no graphic sight of the child's drowned body, as the film uses implication and suggestion to convey what has happened.

'PG' stands for Parental Guidance. A 'PG' film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.
