13+
Parents should know
Moderate violence: two shots are fired and a crew member is killed in cold blood. A backstage period drama about a director and his star clashing over ego and art; the plot turns on a real gunshot and a death, plus a mild romantic thread. Also mild sexual content and mild scary or upsetting scenes.
