  • A males rear is seen during one scene that is not sexual in nature.

Violence & Gore

  • A deer is shot and a boy is bullied.

Profanity

  • 2 or more times the Lord's name is taken in vain. A couple of uses of shit,, one use of fuck, a remark about oral sex to a boy about his father, and some suggestions of racism. There is also a use of an offensive and homophobic term, though the word is said by a character clearly in the wrong and the film does not promote or encourage discriminatory attitudes.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • One character points a rifle directly at another for some time clearly threatening to shot him; this could be frightening/intense for younger viewers.
  • The scene where a deer dies is quite intense as one character experiences the pain that the deer is going through.
  • Some of the bullying scenes are quite intense - one includes stripping the main character (his full body is then seen from behind a few times). There is a sense of the main character being under threat throughout a lot of the movie.
  • Glorifies suicide. The main character throws himself into a lightning strike, shown as a happy ending.
  • Some of the scenes where Powder enlightens others to the pain they're causing can be intense.
