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” now available on streaming services.
We would like to hear what you think of our KBYG movie reviews. Please fill in our short survey.
