A Child Is Waiting
Dr. Matthew Clark is the head of a state institution for intellectually disabled children. Jean Hansen, a former music teacher anxious to give her life some meaning, joins the staff of the hospital. Jean, who tries to shelter the children with her love, suspiciously regards Dr. Clark's stern training methods. She becomes emotionally involved with 12-year-old Reuben Widdicombe, who has been abandoned by his divorced parents.
Is it right for your kids? A rating tells you what a board thought. It does not tell you whether your eight year old will be bored, or whether there is one scene you will be explaining in the car afterward.
We are building the answer families actually want: the honest take from households you know, matched to the ages of the children in your house. Ask for early access.

No content flags came back for this one. That is not the same as "nothing in it" - it means nobody has tagged it yet.
These come from what the film is tagged with, not from a rating board. They are a heads up, not a verdict, and they are no substitute for a parent who has actually seen it. That part is coming from families you know.
