==Criticism==
The MPAA has been criticized for its overly [[liberal]] tone towards violence in movies. Dick Kirby argues in his documentary ''This film is not yet rated'' that the MPAA is harsher on independent films than mainstream Hollywood films. He also argues that the MPAA is more likely to award an R or NC-17 for sexual content than for violence. Especially non gory violent films, which can get away with PG or PG-13 (such as The Star Wars saga, which depicts war scenes but never has got an R rating).
