Ontario Film Review Board

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ontario Film Review Board is an agency of the government of the Canadian province of Ontario.

The board uses the following motion picture rating system for theatrical releases in the province under the Theatres Act:

Ratings used from 1986 - 2001:

  • Family - Film appropriate for viewing by a person of any age.
  • Parental Guidance - Parents should exercise discretion in permitting a child to view the film.
  • Adult Accompaniment - Film restricted to persons 14 years of age or older or to persons younger than 14 years of age who are accompanied by an adult.
  • Restricted - Film restricted to persons 18 years of age or older.

The ratings used from 2001 - present:

  • General - Suitable for viewers of all ages.
  • Parental Guidance - Parental guidance is advised. Theme or content may not be suitable for all children.
  • 14A - Suitable for viewing by persons 14 years of age and older. Persons under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.
  • 18A - Suitable for viewing by persons 18 years of age and older. Persons under 18 may attend but must be accompanied by an adult. May contain: explicit violence, frequent coarse language, sexual activity and/or horror.
  • Restricted - Admittance restricted to persons 18 years of age and over. Content not suitable for minors. May contain: frequent use of sexual activity, brutal/graphic violence, intense horror and/or other disturbing content.

The primary reason for the addition of the 18A category was films such as Scary Movie and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut[1]

Adult movies are given a sticker which denotes:

  • Title
  • Running Time
  • Distributor ID
  • Approval certificate number
