Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

None.

Violence & Gore

A character is slapped hard on the cheek.

A woman attempts to commit suicide by wrist slitting (implied). We see bandages around her wrists a couple of scenes later.

Norma Desmond shoots Joe Gillis three times with a handgun near the end of the film.

Profanity

None.

Many of the characters smoke cigarettes throughout the film.

The very start of the film where the main character, Joe Gillis, is lying dead in the pool may be unsettling for younger viewers.

The ending of the film is dark and depressing.
