Does Zodiac Academy suit 13-year-olds?

Wind River is R, why?
Parents should be aware that Wind River is a highly bloody murder/crime novel set in a Wyoming Native American reservation. There is a graphic rape scenario, along with fighting, shooting, beating, and bludgeoning, as well as bloody dead bodies and lots of gunfire. Also shot and killed is a wolf. In several moments, the use of the words “fk,” “st,” “ahole,” and others is particularly strong. In one scene, secondary characters are revealed to be dangerously and violently inebriated. Some of the characters also smoke. In one scene, sex is indicated and mentioned as a man and woman passionately kiss and cuddle in bed. A few characters wear scantily dressed outfits, however there are no naked people. The movie does make a point of sending a message about the shameful fact that unlike women in any other culture Native American women who go missing aren’t tracked or counted, despite the fact that some people may object to a Native American story being told with white main characters (including Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen). Taylor Sheridan, who authored Sicario and Hell or High Water, makes his directing bow with this intelligent, well-made, and extremely mature thriller.

The moniker they gave themselves “Zodiac Killer and transformed the emblemthe same emblem that appears on Zodiac watchesinto their own personal sign.
The death of Cheri Josephine Bates, then 18 years old, is said to have signaled the beginning of the crimes in 1966. A newspaper, the police, and Joseph Bates all received nearly similar handwritten letters in April 1967, each of which stated the following: “Bates had to perish. More are coming. Some detectives only believe that Bates was a Zodiac victim; this notion hasn’t been proven.
