12A movie certificate

What is a 12A certification?

12A is for cinema use only and states that this movie is for 12 years and over or can be watched if accompanied by an adult. This is because there may be some material that may not be deemed fit for even a 12 year old but this may not apply to all 12 year old's, hence there is a rating of 12A which shows more leniency.

Discriminatory language or behaviour must be kept to a minimum if any. There are also moderate sex scenes, soft drugs and some references to aggression and violence. The use of horror should also be moderate. The soft drugs can be shown in 12A certificate movies but may not be glamorized or educational.

Sex and nudity is bot allowed but still rather limited in the sense that too much nudity are prohibited along with what is included in the sex scene. An example of a 12A certificate movie would be: The Hunger Games (2012)
