The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity: parents' guide

10+our pick

Best for ages 10 and up. Rated TV-PG.

A sweet, slow-burn high school romance that suits tweens and up. A gentle boy from a school for delinquents befriends a girl from the posh girls' academy next door, and both face prejudice from classmates who judge by appearances. Bullying and rumors drive much of the drama, and a few scuffles leave minor, slightly bloody injuries. Boys corner and harass the girls a couple of times. Romance stays at crushes and confessions, language is mild, and no one drinks. Netflix rates it TV-PG. Good for 10 and up.

What's in it

Violence

Moderate

Occasional pushing, kicking and punching when bullies or rival students start trouble. The hero gets hurt breaking up fights, with a little blood, and a friend beats up a group of harassers. A few kids slap or pinch themselves to shake off a bad mood.

Language

Mild

Mild: 'give a damn,' 'jerk' and 'idiot,' plus insults calling the boys' school a school for stupid kids.

Sex and nudity

Mild

Crushes, confessions and a slowly growing romance between friends, and boys joke about wanting girlfriends. Nothing sexual is shown.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

None

No drinking, smoking or drug use.

Scary or intense scenes

Mild

Brief peril when boys corner and harass the girls, once at night, plus the sting of rumors, exclusion and prejudice between the schools. Nothing scary.

Sensitive topics

  • Bullying

Worth talking about

Both schools judge each other by uniforms and rumors. How do first impressions and stereotypes get in the way of real friendships?
