This film is not yet rated is a documentary directed by Kirby Dick and produced by Eddie Schmidt about the Motion Picture Association of America (or MPAA) and their often unfair rules in evaluating films. The MPAA's rating system is as follows: G and PG are the same as they are in Australia, M is called PG-13 in America, MA15+ is R and R18+ is NC-17, the latter being the strongest rating. The difference between an R-rated film and an NC-17 film can run into hundreds of millions of dollars and is driven by disparities between Hollywood and independent filmmakers, straight and gay sex, male and female sexual depictions, and violent and sexual content. Little is known about the production process of This film is not yet classified, other than that it was supposedly filmed in late 2005. The majority of the documentary follows Dick's collaboration with Becky Altringer, a private investigator, to reveal identities. of MPAA review board members, who they claim are “average American parents” with children between the ages of five and seventeen. They found that most of the MPAA's review board members had children over the age of eighteen at the time of filming, and some of them had no children at all, contrary to the MPAA's original intentions to guide parents on what they should have made their children watch it. . They also found that the members of the MPAA's appeals committee were mostly made up of studio executives, sales representatives and film buyers, putting independent filmmakers at an immediate disadvantage in obtaining an NC-17 rating, so they earn less at the box office. The documentary also includes interviews with filmmakers whose films have received the NC-17 rating. The documentary falls into Expository mode, due to its use... half the paper... a ring that exposes all of the MPAA's worst kept secrets, namely their unfair criteria and ulterior motives behind the NC-17 rating and the identity of the evaluators. It's a system created to provide parents with a guideline for what they should let their children see, but their biased rating methods will ultimately only fail if parents and their families see a scene that justifies releasing the corresponding film. a higher grade than the one assigned. While some may argue that the documentary is one-sided, the MPAA is highly unlikely to provide an honest point of view when their credibility is on the line. Instead, the documentary tells the untold stories of the filmmakers affected by the NC-17 rating and that is where the documentary draws its impetus, rather than the MPAA defending itself by denying all the rumors circulating around them..
