Lake City

Rating: A-III (R)

NEW YORK (CNS) — The following is a capsule review of a movie recently reviewed by the Office for Film & Broadcasting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Atmospheric family drama in which a young man (Troy Garity) targeted by a criminal (Dave Matthews) escapes to his rural childhood home with his girlfriend’s son (Colin Ford) and reconnects with his estranged mother (Sissy Spacek). Though their script contains considerable salty dialogue and deals with some gritty subjects, co-writers and directors Hunter Hill and Perry Moore craft a hopeful tale of reconciliation and rediscovered values further enhanced by skillful performances. Beatings, moderate gun violence, drug theme, implied cohabitation, a character born out of wedlock, much rough and crude language, and a few uses of profanity.

The USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification is A-III — adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R — restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
