Stop Making Sense: parents' guide

No violence. The band plays 'Psycho Killer,' a song about a disturbed man, but it is staged simply as David Byrne with an acoustic guitar and a boombox.

Very mild. One content guide notes some language in the lyrics without giving detail, and no strong profanity is reported. There is almost no spoken dialogue between songs.

No sexual content or nudity on stage. Images of body parts briefly appear among the pictures projected on the backdrop, which is what the MPA calls brief suggestive material.

Nobody drinks, smokes or uses drugs on screen. One content guide notes that drugs are mentioned in a song lyric, a reference most young viewers would never catch.

Nothing scary. The dark stage, loud music and Byrne's jittery dancing in a giant suit are theatrical and playful, and the mood stays upbeat from start to finish.
