Also called: CARA Rater, Movie Rating Board Member
Watches movies before release as part of the board that gives them G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17 ratings for American parents.
A ratings board rater watches films in a screening room, noting swear words, violence, and scary scenes. After each film the raters discuss and vote on a rating, and the board explains the reasons to the filmmakers, who can edit and resubmit.
