Characters smoke, and there are a few uses of words like "shut up" and "oh my God." There are also a few potentially upsetting scenes, including nightmares about scary wolves, an angry-looking father yelling at his daughter, a boy losing his hearing after being electrocuted (via lightning), and a young character getting all his money stolen in New York City.
There's not too much iffy stuff (other than the "running away" situation, of course), but the half that occurs in the 1920s is black and white and silent and may be difficult for younger viewers to follow. Like Hugo, which is also based on a Selznick novel, this is a family-friendly historical adventure that explores similar themes of family, friendship, and the importance of perseverance, curiosity, art, and science. Parents need to know that Wonderstruck is based on author-illustrator Brian Selznick's award-winning novel, which follows two deaf 12-year-old characters - one in 1977 and one in 1927 - as they run away from home to New York City to look for family members and eventually end up at the American Museum of Natural History.
