Elio: parents' guide

Realistic kid fights: one scuffle injures Elio's eye and leaves him in an eyepatch, and later bullies pin him down to punch him. An alien warlord threatens war in armored, cannon-firing battle suits. Two clones dissolve. The only blood is a drop from a nose.

No real swearing. Mild insults such as stupid, butt and shut up, plus heck, oh my gosh and one cut-off 'what the.' When Elio speaks his made-up language, the subtitles use the symbols that usually hide swear words.

No romance, kissing or nudity. The closest thing is an alien scan that briefly shows Elio in his underpants, and a joke about his 'first probe' after a nose swab.

Aunt Olga has a glass of wine with dinner. Aliens offer Elio a bright drink in a cocktail-style glass that is never suggested to be alcoholic, and in one gag he and Glordon guzzle an alien beverage and throw up.

Bullies chase Elio through dark, stormy woods; a clone of him pops up in a jump scare and pulls off its own finger, bloodlessly; he's locked in a cell with a skeleton. A space-debris escape, a lava flow and a friend's near-fatal chill add tension.
