# Good Will Hunting - Parental Guide
This R-rated drama contains strong language, violence, and moderate sexual content that make it unsuitable for children. The film deals with mature themes including trauma and psychological struggle. Teenagers 16+ with parental guidance might appreciate its story about a genius confronting his emotional barriers, but younger children should wait until they're older.
Synopsis
Will Hunting is a headstrong, working-class genius who is failing the lessons of life. After one too many run-ins with the law, Will's last chance is a psychology professor, who might be the only man who can reach him.
