Sex & Nudity

  • An older man tells a fifteen-year-old girl that she can have drugs if she 'pays' him. She is seen getting down to his genitals and is heard unzipping his trousers, and very briefly is seen performing unsimulated oral sex. He is heard moaning, and when she pulls away, his erect penis is clearly seen.
  • Two underage teens are implied to have sex. They are seen in bed naked together, and the boy gets out of bed, briefly revealing his butt, and gets dressed. The girl tells him they can "fuck all night if he wants", and he says that he will return, but doesn't.
  • A woman agrees to masturbate a man, after refusing to give him oral sex. Nothing is seen (except a shot of the two of them from the waist up and she opens his pants and laughs, making fun of the size of his penis).
  • A man has off-screen sex with a girl. Moaning and the bed squeaking is heard. Afterwards, they take drugs together and he pays her. He then tells her friend that he knows she is underage, and makes lewd comments.
  • Strong verbal references to sex. A girl often talks about "eating out" (oral sex), and two boys graphically discuss a pornographic magazine, though it is not shown. Plenty of references to teens having sex.

Violence & Gore

  • infrequent, brutal, realistic and intense violence
  • A group of bullies assault and beat up a girl; her face is seen bruised.
  • A teenage boy is attacked by three other boys, before a man turns up and draws a knife to the boy's face.
  • A boy slaps a girl across the face violently and she slaps him back.
  • A man forcefully pushes a woman away by her face, but then kisses her.
  • Three boys break into another boy's flat to take back a stolen game-boy, along with stealing his drugs and girlfriend. The other boy returns and threatens to kill them with a bat, and turns to his girlfriend and says "I'm gonna shove this bat so far up your p-" (interrupted before he can obviously say "pussy") before the boys smash a keyboard over his head, and are visibly seen kicking him and knocking his head into a post before laughing, taking pictures and running away.
  • A man is tied onto a table and a boy carves the letter "C" into his cheek with a knife. The bloody wound is graphically shown, as well as the boy grimacing. A very painful and graphic scene.
  • A girl makes references that her boyfriend would "beat the shit out of her" if she left him.

Profanity

  • Frequent very strong language and strong sexual dialogue, almost all used by teens throughout.
  • Over 100 uses of the word "fuck", from the beginning to the end constantly, non-stop.
  • The word "cunt" is said at least 3 times.
  • The terms "pussyhole", "dickhead", "pussy", "prick", "cock", "wanker", "dick" and "arsehole" are used several times.
  • "Bitch" and "bastard" are said a few times.
  • A group of black characters are called "black bastards" by a white man.
  • There are many sexual references in dialogue.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Smoking and drinking are seen.
  • There is one scene where two girls are seen cutting up lines of cocaine and snorting it several times. Though the shots are somewhat brief, it is an explicit scene.
  • The same two girls, and an overage man, are all clearly shown snorting cocaine in the man's apartment.
  • Cannabis is a constant theme. It is seen smoked a few times, and teens refer to "zoots" and "weed" many times. A teenager is found to have cannabis hidden at his house, and other teens steal it.
  • A girl says she has a friend who will give her free drugs, and she and her friend visit the man and ask for cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy. He gives them cannabis free, but the girl performs oral sex on the man in exchange for the other drugs.
  • A teen's uncle smokes heroin (he asks him what he is smoking, and he replies "H" and laughs"). The man offers the teen some, and he smokes it, but instantly chokes straight after.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • We see a teenage girl commit suicide by hanging is very scary.
  • A girl commit suicide by hanging is very scary and triggering. If they gonna experience this, call the suicide hotline
  • Some of the scenes described in the Violence/Gore section may be intense.
  • There is a scene involving suicide, which may be distressing for some.
  • A boy is made by his gangster uncle to cut open a man's face; intense.
  • The climatic scene is very upsetting.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • A boy is beaten with a baseball bat, and is lethally hit in the stomach. He is seen covered in blood, and dies later in the scene.
  • A girl hangs herself after depression from bullying; we only see her dangling from the ceiling by a belt, and the scene is not prolonged/explicit.
  • In the end of the movie, there is an fight outside of an house. There is boys seen using hand to hand combat against each other. One of the teenage boys gets hit by an baseball bat and he dies just minutes after being hit. This scene is very disturbing and emotional as you see his life flashing before his eyes just before he dies.
