Since Les Miserables centers around the harsh realities of life, many critics wonder what the appropriate age to discuss or allow your children to see the film would be acceptable. The film is rated PG-13.

Hugh Jackman (reflects while taking his own kids into consideration): “They naturally see the good in everyone and the equality wherever they go. Kids are way more connected to these issues than when I was young. So I’m basically a 44 year-old guy that gets on their ban wagon.”
