What is a 12A certificate for a film at cinema?

[Aniles]

Hi

Does a 12A certificate mean you have to be 12 to see the film or does the A have any significance? ie can been seen by younger children at the parent's discretion if over a certain age?

TIA

i thought it meant that 12 is the recommended age, but younger kids can go with adult supervision.

You can go if you're under 12 but have to be with an adult more information

Thank guys
