Smut On Film: “Babies”

Kids in Mind is a website which reviews movies on a 1-to-10 basis along three criteria:  Sex & Nudity, Violence/Gore, and Profanity.  Their mission is to "enable adults to determine whether a movie is appropriate for their own children…"

It gets a "5" rating for nudity because…

SEX/NUDITY 5 – Bare female breasts are seen throughout the movie in a non-sexual maternal and cultural context; scenes include breast feeding newborns and babies, a woman sharing a bath with a baby, a woman is seen lying in bed next to a swaddled baby, and multiple women are seen in indigenous tribal surroundings, where women do not routinely cover their breasts.
 A woman appears to be completely nude in a hot tub — she's holding a nude child, covering her breasts, and when she stands up, her nude torso is visible momentarily.
 The bare chests of men are visible as they soak in a hot spring. A man's bare chest is visible as he holds a nude baby in a shower. A shirtless man is seen holding a nude child.
 Children of various ages, from newborns to toddlers, are seen in various states of undress, including unobscured views of both male and female genitals. Infants are seen without clothing, as well as young children wearing only indigenous tribal outfits, which do not cover buttocks and genitals — in one instance a baby grabs the genitals of another male child, and the male child pushes him away.

Also, for "violence/gore", "Babies" offers:

 We see wires and tubes coming from the feet of a baby in a hospital, and hooked up to a monitor.
 As an infant eats, she spits food out of her mouth and into her hand, offers it to a man, and then puts the food back into her mouth.

Why can't they make nice family pictures anymore?
