Quick context
What parents should know
Generally family-friendly, but several sequences feature darkness, demons, frightening creatures, peril, storms, and dramatic destruction. Younger children may need reassurance; the classical concert format also suits children ready for a long, abstract film. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ. Creativity & curiosity; strongest caution: frightening scenes.
