The rating guidelines for 15A (TV-14), the next rating up, are:

THEME/CONTENT: Most themes/content will be acceptable with classification normally decided by the way the subject is treated. It is worth noting that our recent nationwide survey research confirms that both parents and adolescents often experience embarassment when they view films featuring more mature themes (eg. sexual activity or nudity) in each other's company.

CONTEXT: Modern adolescents of fifteen and older will generally be aware of, and be able to appreciate, the context of a film.

VIOLENCE: This may be realistic but not gratuitous, prolonged or overly bloody. We take particular account of the way in which sexual violence is portrayed.

DRUGS: Scenes/dialogue relating to drugs may be acceptable in an appropriate context, but not if there is instruction or encouragement as to use.

SEXUAL CONTENT/NUDITY: Mild/moderate sexual activity/nudity is acceptable, particularly when portrayed positively.
