How did they react? I would hesitate to show it to my children of the same age. It is a very grim and sad movie.
I’m not ready to watch it a second time though. I’m told it’s worse the second time.
I didn't know the story going in.
At least if I was their age, I wouldn't have reacted to the end. I didn't become sensitive to tragedy until I was in my 20s, except that I cried when I read Bridge to Terabithia when I was 10 or 11.
