Why Is The Visitor Rated PG-13?
Providing an enlightening example of how helping others allows us to improve our own lives, The Visitor also offers a perspective on the plight of immigrants to America. Content issues for parents are relatively few. A short scuffle between two men trying to protect each other results in two sexual expletives and a couple of scatological profanities. Other profanity is heard later in the script along with two terms of Deity used as expletives. A man who is suspected of being an illegal immigrant is arrested and detained by police. Characters are seen socially drinking in some scenes.
