The "U rating" for a film means it is considered suitable for a Universal audience.
Understanding the U Rating
According to guidance on film certificates, the U symbol stands for Universal. This classification indicates that a film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over.
Key Aspects of the U Rating:
- Symbol Meaning: The 'U' stands for 'Universal'.
- Target Audience: The film is generally suitable for audiences aged four years and over.
- Content Suitability: Content is considered appropriate for a wide family audience.
- Important Note: It is impossible to predict what might upset a particular child, especially at this lower end of the category range. While intended for broad appeal, individual sensitivities can vary.
Therefore, a U-rated film is classified as appropriate for viewers of all ages, although the guidance acknowledges that very young children (under four) might still react unpredictably to certain content.
