Why Splitsville Is Rated R?
Splitsville is officially rated R for strong language, sexual content, and graphic nudity. Here’s a breakdown of the film’s key content areas to help parents understand its maturity level:
Language
The film features frequent use of strong language, including the F-word and other adult terms. The dialogue is casual and fast-paced, reflecting modern adult conversations, but it may be inappropriate for younger viewers.
Sexual Content & Nudity

Is Splitsville Suitable for Teens?
Ages 10–12: Not suitable. The mature themes, frequent strong language, and nudity make this film inappropriate for pre-teens.

Splitsville is intended for adult audiences and is not designed for teen viewers.
What Parents Can Do
