Parents keep asking how to start from what their house will accept, not from a title someone mentioned at school. That is what Find is for.
Movies is still the place to browse and search by name. Find is the other door. You set the age and content ceilings you are happy with. We only show published ClearAge guides that match.
Start with age
Use ClearAge up to for the oldest age you will accept tonight. If you pick 12+, you will not see guides we marked 13+ or higher. Leave it on Any age when age is not the first filter.
ClearAge ages stay our family call. Official board labels stay on each guide as the legal stamp. Find filters on our age, not the poster rating.
Then set content ceilings
Content ceilings are the most you will accept for each concern: violence, language, sex and nudity, fear, self-harm, child peril, and the rest of the flags we publish.
For each one you can pick None, Mild or less, Moderate or less, or Strong or less. Leave it on Any when you do not mind. That keeps the list useful. If you clamp every category to None, you will get almost nothing back, and that is honest.
You can also narrow by streaming service, genre, year, or an optional title. Those sit on top of the content rules. They do not replace them.
What the list means
When you hit Show matching guides, you get films whose published ClearAge scores sit inside the ceilings you set. Open a guide before you press play. Read the notes. Our take is still the place for the plain-English call for that film.
Find will not tell you how your child will feel. It only keeps the shortlist to guides that fit the limits you chose.
How we use it at home
With our three, aged twelve to fifteen, we often start with ClearAge up to and one or two hard noes for that night. Fear might be Mild or less for the youngest. Violence might sit a step higher for the oldest if the rest of the house is fine. Then we pick from what is left, and we still read the guide.
If crime films about kids in danger are a no in your house, set child peril low and leave Find to do the sorting. If you are still deciding on one title, open that guide and read the flags before play.
