My ten year old wants to see this with me and I'm ok taking him, but would a 7 year old girl find it interesting? I know not all 7 year olds are the same, but I'd love for her to see a film portraying a positive image of women in STEM careers.

I think it would be appropriate for a child interested in the topic. You may have to do some historical perspective first.
shareThank you for your response. I think she may be just a little too young to find the subject interesting. She'll definitely watch it at some point in the future.

As you even admit not all 7 year olds are the same. If your 7 year old is also interested then I don't see a problem. Theres no swearing or nudity that parents would find objectionable. There isn't any violence shown...but it is talked about. But it was violence towards blacks that was REAL. I think its not an important story but a really cool story to boot. If your 7 year old isn't used to movies like this as another user said, maybe give them some context on the time period beforehand. But, I don't think it should be too big of an issue.

A perfect summary as well as sound advice.
shareI would say yes as, just for starters, it will be fun for her to see how different the clothes and cars were. Plus despite the tension there is enough family stuff and kids to keep them attracted, hopefully. Better to expose them to all kinds of movies (within reason).
My brother took me to see "All the President's Men" and the old "Andromeda Strain" when I was in elementary school so kids can adapt easily.
No sex or violence. Just an inspirational movie. It depends on the temperament of the 7 year old. It shouldn't hurt for them to see it.

Really? Could you be more specific?
No bias against blacks in the 60s?
No bias against women in the 60s?
No segregation in VA?
Fantasy huh?
@uggs94
Really,troll? How could it be a fantasy if it's based on a true story? I guess you're gonna say the real people the film is based on are fantasies too, huh?

I did not see anything inappropriate for 7+. But even for a child who would enjoy the subject matter, the movie is quite long. My 9-year-old was bored through a big part of it. For the right kiddo, though, it would be great.
My husband and I loved it. It's really good.
We went today and I'd say easily half the folks there had kids, most elementary school age and up. I took my three kids - 7, 12 and 14 - and they all enjoyed the film. It isn't overwhelming or violent. It treats the subjects of bias - both gender and racial - appropriately for a PG rated movie. It is pretty much a feel good movie about how Americans overcame bias to achieve something great.
shareThere is noting inappropriate in the movie for children. There is some kissing, but nothing over the top. They're lovers' kisses I should say, nothing erotic. Other than that, it's PG.
shareThere's no blood/guts, nudity. There is swearing. Might have to explain why all the kids are sleeping in the same room (lack of money) or why she is always running to the restroom in the other building--she has to go.
Agree it is a long movie. Jr high might be able to sit though it. Elementary school might not.
no
