Run of the Country, The
-- Dark coming-of-age story in which an 18-year-old Irish lad (Matt Keeslar) quarrels with his policeman father (Albert Finney), moves in with a rural roughneck (Anthony Brophy) and gets a girl (Victoria Smurfit) pregnant before finally taking some tentative steps towards maturity. Directed by Peter Yates, the adolescent's eccentric misadventures mix comedy with tragedy, but the depiction of growing up on the border with the North is too fragmented to add up to a convincing whole. Some violence, strong sexual situations, brief nudity, occasional profanity and rough language. (A-IV) (R)

Bishop's Office for Film and Broadcasting according to artistic
merit and moral suitability. The reviews include the USCCB rating,
the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief
synopsis of the movie.
The classifications are as follows:
- A-I -- general patronage;
- A-II -- adults and adolescents;
- A-III -- adults;
- A-IV**
- L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
- O -- morally offensive.
