"MARSHALL"
Rated PG-13 for mature thematic content, sexuality, violence and some strong language.
What it's about: Legendary civil rights lawyer Thurgood Marshall tackles a rape case in Connecticut in the 1940s.
The kid attractor factor: Teens may be attracted for star Chadwick Boseman and the true life story.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Always stand up for what's right and find your allies in the fight.
Violence: A couple of scenes of beatings, threatening with a gun, several scenes of the attack.
Language: Some instances of strong language.
Sexuality: Repeated references to the rape at the center of the case, with details that might be heard in court, references to sex and lovers_ on screen kissing but no nudity.
Drugs: Drinking
Parents advisory: This might be a good film for teens to learn about an important part of civil rights history, but the themes about sex and rape are mature, and the victim blaming and accusal of a false accusation will require some discussion.
