NEW YORK (AP) — The Weinstein Co.’s transgender drama “3 Generations” has been reclassified with a PG-13 rating after the distributor made slight tweaks to the movie.

The Weinstein Co. said Thursday that it made “some edits to the film as a compromise” after the Motion Picture Association of America gave “3 Generations” an R-rating. Harvey Weinstein criticized that decision. The Weinstein Co. co-chairman has frequently battled with the MPAA over ratings, often with the benefit of generating inexpensive publicity.

“3 Generations” stars Elle Fanning as a teenager who is transitioning. Susan Sarandon plays the youth’s lesbian grandmother, and Naomi Watts co-stars as the mother.

The LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD, which participated in the making of the film, applauded the ratings change. It called the movie “a film that all families should be able to see.”
