My Policeman is a handsomely mounted drama that feels like it’s trying very hard to be an Oscar contender but lands more like a very sad, very slow Sunday afternoon movie. It’s worth a watch if you’re a fan of the leads or specifically interested in LGBTQ+ history, but it’s not exactly 'entertainment.'
For parents, the main takeaway is that this is a heavy R-rated movie. It’s not a fun pop-culture moment just because Harry Styles is in it. It’s a story about ruined lives, decades of resentment, and the cruelty of the past. If your teen wants to watch it, make sure they’re ready for a serious conversation about the history of policing morality.
