rated R

Not for children

Rated R is a film classification indicating restricted content—violence, sexual material, strong language, or drug use that makes the movie unsuitable for children.

In the U.S. system, anyone under 17 requires an accompanying adult.

The phrase extends beyond cinema to describe anything with adult content: His comedy routine was definitely rated R.
