This expose of the Hollywood ratings system provides insight into how censoring yourself may prevent government intervention but can also contribute to a system that seems arbitrary and unfair to those film directors that don’t make major studio films. Kirby’s film “This Film Is Not Yet Rated” amusingly takes a look at the history of Hollywood policing itself and how it does it today. He also asks a number of hard questions about the standards that the MPAA employees and why the organization must operate with as much secrecy as the CIA.

Interviewing people such as actress Maria Bello (”The Cooler”, the TV show “ER” and “A History of Violence”), cult film director John Waters (”Polyester”)and others working outside the studio system as independent directors and producers, what’s reflected is a system that is badly flawed, very subjective and does a disservice to viewers. What he discovered are people that have no qualifications beyond their opinions, have established a rudimentary system to “judge” films that has become meaningless in terms of what it truly tells the consumer, quibble over the sexual positions or even head movement in sex scenes and use their personal morality to make Hollywood’s product seem acceptable.
We get a number of deleted scenes including a whole section on how the MPAA and Hollywood use lobbyists to stifle new technology that they deem a threat to their material. One expert discusses how copyright law has been impacted by the studios. Disney evidently protects their copyrights (even material that they have taken from the public domain such as the stories of Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Little Mermaid” or classic fairy tales like “Beauty and the Beast” making public domain material somehow their own)vigorously often having a negative impact. Interestingly in the section on film piracy (and in the Q&A section in the extras)Kirby points out that the MPAA has a division devoted to this problem but has no problem with pirating product themselves (they copied Kirby’s early version of the film without his consent violating his rights to the material).

Certainly we must have a stanard to help parents and adult viewers decide what they want to watch in theaters. Ironically, the ratings system has become more of a marketing tool (think of all those “Unrated” special editions that sell out)than a system designed to look out for the public’s welfare.
It’s great that someone has finally waded into sausage factory that is the ratings system. Awesome, gleeful muckraking. Good investigative reporting. Nice surprise at the number of directors who agreed to appear in the film.
The film raises several interesting questions.
If this is a bad system, what should replace it? A more transparent MPAA process? A government ratings board? No ratings at all?
The film pointed out several times that for the MPAA violence is okay, but sex isn’t - but why is this? Does it have something to do with how well violent films do worldwide?
How does the diminishing importance of domestic theatrical release and big box retail chains like Walmart change things? Does the MPAA rating matter as much when people are getting their movies from Amazon and Netflix, and when international sales are bringing in a bigger percentage of the take?
Overall, a fantastic film.
