The gown is spaghetti strapped, but not low cut and not revealing. There are two scenes where a character is wearing an ordinary nightgown in a completely normal and non-sexual way.

The revealing nightgown mentioned in the common sense review doesn't exist. Language is present, as mentioned in the common sense review.

Witchcraft is present, though it is just a character's superstition and doesn't "work," so to speak.

This is the main issue that might make the movie unsuitable for some children or families. A character is killed, not directly shown, but the filmography lends itself to dark overtones that may feel disturbing to some younger viewers. The villagers are hateful and mean to the girls throughout the film, and the climax of the movie has pretty intense vitriol. The big reveal was more predictable in the movie, not the big eye-opening surprise that you get to experience when reading. The unfolding of the plot is enjoyably suspenseful in the book. Incidental cigarette smoking and drinking are shown, and an angry mob is referred to as "drunken fools." Taissa Farmiga, Alexandra Daddario, Crispin Glover, and Sebastian Stan co-star.įirst of all, I love the book and suggest reading it before watching the movie. Language is infrequent but includes "goddamn," "bastard," and "bitch." A man is seen shirtless, and a woman wears a revealing nightgown.

An angry mob throws rocks and vandalizes a house, and men terrorize women one manhandles a woman and drags her up a flight of stairs. There's a murder scene: The victim is hit twice with a blunt object, and a pool of blood is shown. It's a little lighter - and more straightforward - than the book, but it still conjures a striking, appealing mood. Parents need to know that We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a gothic-like mystery based on Shirley Jackson's 1962 novel.
