Well the Official Website says this


Target audience: 9 years and up; a film for the whole family and all fantasy lovers!


So I guess it is a family film.

just watched Strings and it was surprisingly dark in some places, yet horrendously cute in others, so I suppose overall that means it must be a family film, but there are definitely a few scenes that might unsettle some younger viewers...

I don't think it really knows if it's a family movie - it's too dark for small children, and too much of a fairy-tale to appeal to adults. It sort of sits between two chairs in that regard.

I just saw it yesterday. there are several nude scenes. One puppet watches the "sister" bath and though it isn't explicit, i think he sports wood.

It's a good movie. The Strings as lifelines is a cool concept.

Yes I think this is a family film (for not too young children). Children get more then you think.

I can highly recommend this film, such beautiful scenes, you forget about the characters being puppets after a few minutes. And the symbolic use of strings in different situations is really very cool.

Lol. Somebody spare the children from all this gratuitous filming of wooden dolls.

It is a family film, but young children might find it scary or a little too long in places. It's a very impressive film.
