Is it Safe For Kids? The Language in The Many Saints of Newark

The Many Saints of Newark is rated R and for good reason.

We can’t imagine kids wanting to watch this unless they’ve already seen The Sopranos. If that’s the case, then they probably will be ok with this movie.

But if the Soprano family saga is new to your family, here’s what you need to know about the language: it’s rampant in this movie.

Every 4 letter curse and swear is used multiple times, with the F-bomb happening too many times to count. And G-d d@mn is in this one as well. Plus the N-word is used as well.
