The MPA gave the movie an NC-17 rating "for some sexual content." NC-17 is a higher classification than an R rating and means no one under 17 years old can be admitted to see the movie, whereas for rated-R films, those under 17 can see the movie with a parent or guardian. Blonde is set to stream on Netflix soon.
The NC-17 rating is the highest rating (even higher than the R-rating) that a film can be given, and it means the movie is for adults only (ages 18 and older) and no one age 17 or younger will be admitted. This rating, prior to 1990, was previously rated X.
18A – 18 Accompaniment – Persons under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Additionally, admittance restricted to people 14 years of age or older in the Maritimes and Manitoba. R – Restricted – Admittance restricted to people 18 years of age or older.

Is TV-14 ok for 12 year olds?
TV-14. This program contains material that most parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Programs contain material that parents or adult guardians may find unsuitable for children under the age of 14.
R applies to movies that have strong language, sex, and violence, by accordance of the MPAA. Unrated is a cut extended with raunchier content that was not been seen by the MPAA.
Restricted: R - Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. Contains some adult material. Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their young children with them.
TV-Ma and R rated are the same. They are both very extreme in their amounts of violence, cussing, or sexual content. The difference being TV-Ma is for TV shows and R rated is for Movies. R rated and TV-MA are both recommended for 18+ unless you have Parental Guidance (I know that for TV shows they don't control that).
K: Content suitable for most ages, usually those aged five and older. It should be free of coarse language, violence, and adult themes. Equivalent to G. K+: Some content may not be suitable for young children, usually those below nine years of age.
Some suggestive references are present in the movie, which were a big contributor to the movie's PG-13 rating. These include the characters' discussion about Barbie and Ken dolls' lack of genitalia, though there is no nudity or sex in the movie.
In a separate interview with Total Film magazine, Tammi said she wanted her “Freddy's” adaptation to be a “gateway” horror film for teenage audiences, thus explaining the PG-13 rating. “Going into production we knew that we wanted to really stick [to] a PG-13 rating for this movie,” director said.
The NC-17 label has also become less important because it's so rarely called for. Twenty-first-century cinema, particularly in the U.S., has become overwhelmingly sexless, and since violence has never much bothered the MPA, it's left the group with precious few chances to whip out its scarlet letter.
In 1996, the MPA reworded the NC-17 rating to "No One 17 and Under Admitted", effectively raising the minimum age for admission from 17 to 18. This list includes films that received—and were released with—an NC-17 rating; films that received it but had it rescinded before release are not included.
Strays, which opens in theaters on Friday, is not geared to children despite its cuddly stars. Billed as a "subversion of the dog movies we know and love," the comedy is rated R for "pervasive language, crude and sexual content, and drug use."
The ratings are: TV-Y - programs aimed at a very young audience, including children from ages 2-6. TV-Y7 - programs most appropriate for children age 7 and up.
The R rating means that children under 17 years are not admitted to the theater without a parent. Movies may get an R rating for different reasons. This rating is given for nudity, profanity, or violence.
The MPAA rating has been assigned for “violence/terror, and language.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes a kissing scene and conversations about sex, cleavage revealing outfits and bathing suits, many scenes of people attacking and killing other people with blood and gore, many scenes of unusual and creepy ...
Founded by Holly Tarquini in 2014, the F-Rating is used like a Fair trade stamp to give film lovers an easily identifiable label so they can choose films that fairly represent women on screen and behind the camera. The F-Rating is applied to all films which are directed by women and/or written by women.
