Know Before You Go Movie Reviews

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

Remember, as a parent or carer you know your child best and it is up to you to make decisions as to what is appropriate for the children in your care. The information in these reviews is provided to help you find age appropriate and enjoyable movies suitable for your child. (Read our full Disclaimer)

We would like to hear what you think of our KBYG movie reviews. Please fill in our short survey.

This service is supported by a grant made by the Attorney-General of South Australia.
