Synopsis

This Film is Not Yet Rated documents the history of the MPAA ratings board. Dick talks to numerous directors and actors about the censorship of their movies before they could be released. Includes directors Kevin Smith, Matt Stone, John Waters, Darren Aronosfsky, Maria Bello, Atom Egoyan. Director, Kirby Dick hires a lesbian family of private investigators to find out the names of the MPAA ratings board and see if the raters are actually parents of children 5-17 like the MPAA tells American parents they are. —IMDb

Not that I have much sympathy for Kevin Smith or Matt Stone, but fun to see how the process works.

Very interesting and entertaining, as well as revelatory for those willing to listen. The ignorance enrages, as does the audacity of how irrelevant the MPAA function is under a veil of secrecy for the intent of creating the illusion of relevance.

I enjoyed this movie. I had no idea the MPAA was so corrupt.
