Hunt for the Wilderpeople: parents' guide

A pig is killed with a knife and bleeds, a boar attack leaves a dog with a fatal, bloody wound, hunters and police point guns, a man is accidentally shot in the backside, and there is a brief fistfight and a car chase.

Moderate: s-words, piss, bastard, ass and dick, plus Christ as an exclamation and a rude gesture at police. One guide counted about 30 obscenities and profanities; no f-words are noted.

No sexual content. An innocent remark leads hunters to wrongly assume Ricky's foster father molested him, and the false rumor follows them through the manhunt. It is played for laughs, and nothing like that happens.

Hec and a few other adults smoke cigarettes, usually after long hikes. There are passing comic references to joints and to cocaine, but no drug use or drinking is shown.

The sudden death of a loving foster parent, a funeral, a dog dying after a boar attack, and tense chases by armed hunters and police may upset sensitive kids.
