I’ll be explaining why is the girl who got away rated r.
The points should’ve been clear in terms of why the movie received its R rating but we’ll go over it anyway.
This movie came out in 2021 and still has a buzz that’s still talked about.
Roku was an outlet that provided this movie but it can for sure be found on Tubi, Vudu and Amazon.
I’ll try my best to leave a timeline that’s appropriate until spoilers are shared.
Why is the girl who got away rated r?
There’s 2 categories that play a role in the film’s rating:
• Sex and nudity
• Frightening & intense scenes
When you look at what the movie advertises as having strong violence, language and nudity it seems fair.
There’s a reason why movies rated R are exclusive to 17 and older at all movie theaters.
Sex and Nudity
There’s a scene in the movie where there’s graphic nudity.
It only includes breast as far as body parts that’s clearly visible.
Frightening and intense scenes
The movie has subject matter that could be triggering and unsettling if you’re bothered by kidnappings.
Spoiler points
A 10 year old girl convinces her mom to perform kidnappings.
Jamie directly mentions Katie Cauffield’s body.
Katie and Christina could be Gerry’s daughter

According to the IMDB they gave the title a few numbers on the low side in terms of things that could disturb parents:
