Movies in cinemas are categorized based on their content, and according to the official information from Cinemex and Cinépolis, a highly anticipated film is set to premiere this week. However, it has stirred some controversy, as it has been rated “C”, which means it is intended for adults only. This is a departure from the previous installment, “Deadpool 2,” which had a “B13” rating that allowed for broader access to teen audiences.
The earlier film was aimed at both teen and adult viewers, but the latest addition to the saga has a more restricted audience. In Mexico, films are rated as “AA” for all audiences, particularly appealing to children under seven. A rating of “A” denotes that a film is suitable for everyone, whereas a “B” rating means it’s aimed at those 12 and older. Films rated “C” are meant for adults aged 18 and up, and those with a “D” rating contain explicit sexual scenes, strong language, or extreme violence—details that are outlined in Article 25 of the Federal Cinematography Law.
“Deadpool and Wolverine,” as it is colloquially known, is directed by Shawn Levy and marks the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film features Ryan Reynolds and firmly retains its adult-oriented focus, earning it a “C” classification in Mexico.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Hugh Jackman’s return to the screen, as it has been 15 years since the two characters last appeared together in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” Excitement also surrounds Wolverine’s classic costume from the comic “Giant-Size X-Men 1,” which he wore until issue 138.
In this storyline, Wade Wilson is trying to normalize his life after a career as a hitman. However, a new threat emerges, forcing him to team up with Wolverine to tackle this formidable new enemy.
Another notable release is “El Tío,” a drama set in late 1980s Yugoslavia, written and directed by David Kapac and Andrija Mardesic. The plot revolves around a family preparing for Christmas dinner, eagerly anticipating the arrival of a relative from Germany. The film stars Goran Bogdan, Ivana Roscic, and Miki Manojlovic. “El Tío” has gained recognition, winning awards for best direction and best film at the 2023 International Cinema Festival in Catalunya – Sitges and receiving special mention at the Karlovy Vary Festival in 2022.
“Pequeñas cartas indiscretas,” set in a 1920s coastal town, follows Edith Swan and her neighbors as they receive scandalous letters. Rose Gooding becomes a suspect as the letters threaten her freedom and custody of her daughter. The mystery unfolds as police officer Gladys Moss seeks to identify the true culprit. Directed by Thea Sharrock, this dramedy is based on real events.
The cinematic offerings this season cater to a wide array of tastes and ages. It’s always wise to check if a movie is suitable for those accompanying an adult. Each film presents its unique blend of storytelling that is sure to resonate with various audiences.
