What all makes the movie Lolita rated R, besides the subject matter?!
Question: Which one? The one with Jeremy Irons has a sex scene in it (when they are in the teepee hotel). And since it was somewhat graphic and she was a child *KABLAM!!* smacked with an R rating.

The subject matter.
The subject matter is difficult to deal with. And when you couple that with having to protray the sexual tension between a child and adult , it gets very very sticky.
To honestly deliver the story it has to convince you it is plausible. Most dangerous for a film.
What as oppose to NC-17? Considering the subject alone do you really think it would be ok to let a 13 year old watch it? Keep in mind the next lowest rating would be PG-13. Yeah though look up the movie and most will list the "flags" or whatever they use as the term as to why they got the rating they got.
