Vurdering Filmen er fortalt i et roligt tempo og har i de fleste scener en let og positiv grundstemning. Den indeholder dog enkelte scener, hvor personerne er vrede, skændes, græder og er ulykkelige. I en scene fx kaster en af hovedpersonerne en vase efter en anden person. I en anden scene fx bliver en af personerne under et håndgemæng på en bar båret hjem under protest. Da scenerne er af kortere varighed, og de filmiske virkemidler er afdæmpede, vurderes filmen til ikke at kunne virke skræmmende på børn og unge.

Synopsis “ In this handsome period piece perfectly suited for cinephiles of all stripes, director Michael Engler (Downton Abbey, 30 Rock, Six Feet Under) and screenwriter Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey, Gosford Park) bring a fascinating slice of pre-Hollywood history to light in a coming-of-age story centering on the relationship between the young, free-spirited and soon-to-be international screen starlet Louise Brooks (a riveting, high-intensity Haley Lu Richardson) and her tee-totalling chaperone (a wonderfully nuanced Elizabeth McGovern). On their journey from the conservative confines of Wichita Kansas to the flash and sizzle of New York City, both women are driven by a kindred desire for self-discovery and liberation from the past. Based on the book by Laura Moriarty and anchored by a superb supporting cast (Miranda Otto, Géza Röhrig, and Blythe Danner in a key cameo), The Chaperone is a sensitive, resonant, and illuminating tale of women's lives in the early 20th century.
