Know Before You Go Movie Reviews:

Enable you to find enjoyable and age appropriate movies for your children.

The Know Before You Go Movie Review Service provides descriptions of the content of movies, highlighting areas which may be of concern to parents.

Reviewers with child development expertise review all G and PG movies as soon as possible after their release in Australia. Selected M movies which are likely to appeal to younger audiences are also reviewed.  Our database also includes reviews of ‘golden oldies’ and many new movies now available on streaming services.

Our green age indicates the age, from which children should be able to watch on their own, with safety.

On Flicks reviews (the site that supplies locations for movies in cinemas and on streaming services), this age appears as a green tick.
