The Irishman: parents' guide

Frank kills many people on screen, often point-blank, with blood spattering walls. A man is shot in the head on a sidewalk, German prisoners dig their own graves before being shot, and there are a strangling, car bombs, a beating and a cremated body.

Constant. Plugged In counted about 130 f-words and more than 20 s-words, and Movieguide counted over 200 obscenities in all. Also 'motherf---er,' other crude terms, God's name misused, and ethnic slurs and stereotypes.

Very little. Frank has an affair with a waitress he later marries, a topless casino show is mentioned, and men sit shirtless in a steam room. No sex scenes or nudity.

Characters smoke cigarettes and cigars almost constantly and drink often in bars and nightclubs, some to excess. One man gets tipsy on vodka-soaked watermelon. No drug use is shown.

Killings arrive abruptly, often of characters we have come to know, and Frank's young daughter watches him beat a shopkeeper. The final hour dwells on aging, guilt and his grown daughter's refusal to speak to him.
