Canadian Censors Opening Doors For 'Bully' US Release

If you've read about the ratings drama between the makers behind Bully and the MPAA, then you know by now that there is a strong likelihood that Bully will be released domestically unrated. In this article from the Canadian Press, there's an interesting comparison between the ratings system here in the US and the ratings system in Canada, which is releasing the film with a PG rating.

Also mentioned, The Hunger Games and how violence and language are treated dramatically different in the US and Canada. The film's director Lee Hirsch is hoping that the PG rating in Canada will open the door for theater owners in the US to play his film despite its lack of a rating.
