This Film is Not Yet Rated

This film was an interesting indictment against the Motion Picture Association of America's rating and appeals system. I did like how the director, Kirby Dick, tried to get this film rated by the MPAA. It showed tenacity. But clearly, he recognized he was not going to win this fight. After seeing Jack Valente around the film scene for so many years, I had no idea what a secret society the MPAA actually was. It was fascinating to see what passes as rated R versus rated NC-17. Sex over violence is still very much a hot button issue.
