Would you let your kids watch this?


North and South came out when I was in junior high, and I just couldn't get enough! I was thinking of watching it with my kids now, during this time of social distancing. Just wondering if my 11 year old is old enough.

This movie came out when I was 7 and my parents let me watch it when it came out...because I was a huge history nerd when I was a kid.

Cool!

It's ok for them to watch.

I enjoyed it

I don't see why not. Some violence, yes, but nothing truly explicit.

I watched Aliens and Predator when I was six. I saw Silence of the lambs when I was eight. Honestly, it was fine for me as a kid. My nephews were watching a lot of the same movies when they were 11. So I don't think would be a problem. As long as you're there to enjoy it with your 11 year old having a good time, he/she will probably be good. Plus it could be a great memory to share as you two get older. Spending time together is more important than the movie itself. The night we watched Predator, we also watched young einstein. We all laugh at how bad that was compared to predator.
