Finding Emily is officially rated PG-13. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 13+.

Finding Emily is a romantic comedy exploring the blurred lines between academic ambition and genuine connection. Rated PG-13, the film contains moderate profanity, some crude sexual references, and brief mentions of illicit substances. Parents should be aware of a scene involving an anatomically shaped cake and…

The film includes crude humor, such as a cake shaped like a butt with a focus on the anus, and verbal jokes about masturbation, genitalia, and virginity.

There is a single, brief moment where a character is struck in the face, resulting in a minor bloody lip and a subsequent small scar.

Moderate profanity is used throughout, including terms like 'twat,' 'prick,' 'shit,' 'asshole,' and 'piss.' There is also a partial utterance of 'motherf***' and use of the middle finger gesture.

There are brief, infrequent verbal references to cannabis, cocaine, and drug dealing, but no on-screen consumption is shown.

The narrative centers on an ethical breach where a student exploits a man's feelings for a psychological experiment, leading to themes of betrayal and emotional manipulation.

Finding Emily runs 111 minutes, directed by Alicia MacDonald, released in 2026.
