The Twits
Cruelty as a comedy. Dahl's warning is in it, and so is the risk that the cruelty is the fun.
The Twits are a portrait of a couple who have made cruelty their hobby, and the story exists to bring them down. That aim is fair. The texture is disgusting on purpose, and children often love the texture more than the downfall. This is not for the young row it is sitting in. If an older child sees it, the sentence to add is that being revolting is not a personality the film gets to make charming.
The eight
Industry
2/10
They do no useful work. Their energy goes into meanness.
Household
2/10
A marriage that is a contest of ugliness.
Piety
1/10
Nothing is looked up to. The joke is how low they can go.
Courage
4/10
The people they hurt eventually refuse them.
Republic
4/10
A neighborhood that has to decide it will not be ruled by a nasty house.
Temperance
2/10
Grossness is the method.
Truth
5/10
They are bad, and the story does not ask you to find them secretly noble.
Stewardship
3/10
What a child may copy is the prank, not the refusal.
Live historicallySkip it for the under-tens. If it plays, ask who was hurt, not what was funny.
