An example of BBFC classification

We Need to Talk About Kevin



When films are presented to the BBFC for classification, this is the finished product. The BBFC consider every aspect of the film according to their guidelines, in order to apply an appropriate certificate to the film. This means that the audience can judge whether or not they should watch a film in accordance to the certificate that it has been given.

Extended Classification Information

The BBFC have recently made available extra information about films. This includes information about why a film has been given that particular certificate. In this instance, We Need to Talk About Kevin was awarded its 15 certificate because the film contains strong language and sexualised nudity.

This information also explains why the film wasn't given a lower certificate, because of the difference in requirements that make up the 12/12A and 15 certificates.
