NC 17 Rating for Blue Valentine – Watch Trailer Video
The movie Blue Valentine has received the NC-17 rating from the Motion Picture Association of America. Blue Valentine was one of the best films in the Sundance Film Festival. It is about a relationship drama between Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. In a press release issued Thursday morning, TWC president Harvey Weinstein announced he’s appealed the ruling:
“We want to express our deepest gratitude to our colleagues in the industry and in the media for their recent outpouring of support for Derek Cianfrance’s Blue Valentine after the film surprisingly received an NC-17 rating from the Motion Picture Association of America. We are taking every possible step to contest the MPAA’s decision. We respect the work of the MPAA and we hope, after having a chance to sit down with them, they will see that our appeal is reasonable, and the film, which is an honest and personal portrait of a relationship, would be significantly harmed by such a rating.”
On September 27, 1990, the MPAA introduced the rating NC-17 (“No Children Under 17 Admitted”) as its official rating for adult-oriented films bearing the MPAA seal.
