Review of This Film Is Not Yet Rated (2006) by Michael H — 05 Sep 2012

Boy, The people in the MPAA must be really embaressed about the movie This Film Is Not Yet Rated. Where Kirby Dick tries to uncover the darkness of the MPAA board. He and some spies investigate outside of the MPAA rating building following the raters and getting their names. At one point in the documentry, they do get the names of the raters which is a great success for film history. Meanwhile, people like John Waters, Matt Stone, and Darren Aronofsky talk about their bad experiences with their movies getting rated NC-17. This Film Is Not Yet Rated is also rated NC-17. Not because the MPAA didn't want the people to watch it, but because of film clips of sexual content from films such as Boys Don't Cry, Where The Truth Lies, Jersey Girl and much more films with graphic sexual content. This film is a remarkable outstanding achievment in film history. Not only has Kirby Dick and his friends uncovered some of the dark secrets of the MPAA but they also have managed to change the way people (including I) think about how movies are rated. Strong stories, amazing footage and great mystery makes This Film Is Not Yet Rated a crowd pleaser.

95/100 A.
