Dorian Gray Rating

Staff Writer: Samuntha Mackenzie

With sexual content, violence, and drug scenes, I wondered how far the director was going to push the envelope with Dorian Gray. A few tweaks later, the film makers shot for a teen, 15 rating. I was expecting a rated R, or restricted to over the age of 17.

In a way, I'm almost disappointed the movie did not garner an adult rating. We'll discover if the edits were well worth the time on September 9th when Dorian Gray is released into UK theaters.

TIFF on the other hand has lessened the age requirements to 14A.

So can we expect a PG-13 rating by MPAA here in the states? Time will tell.
