Family genre

IMDb has confirmed to me via email that they think Sentimental Value belongs in the family genre, which promises "universally accepted viewing for a younger audience".

What is meant by a younger audience here? Perhaps I misunderstand it.

The film has an American R rating and a British 15 rating. Is IMDb a better judge? Perhaps such ratings should automatically exclude a film from the genre.

Hi Peter_pbn,

Thank you for reporting this. 

I have removed this genre as it does not adhere to our genre guidelines as you have pointed out here, and in your original deletion request. I also apologize for the confusion in communication you received via email, this has been escalated for review and additional training. Your feedback on genres being automatically excluded from titles with certain ratings is appreciated, I will pass this onto the relevant team for consideration. 

Thanks again!
