Sex & Nudity

  • A few instances of kissing. A couple lay under a cover together implying sex.
  • Harley is shown in a pretty long bath scene, in the bath, then getting out. Her breasts are seen throughout, and full frontal is shown quickly.

Violence & Gore

  • Two women get into a fight after one of them provokes the another. The other woman is then shown getting dragged off the other one and carried away.
  • A woman freaks out in a bus after refusing to be let off, resulting in her hurling insults at every direction, threatening the other passengers and the driver and almost breaking a window. She is then forcibly dragged off the bus
  • A woman threatens to kill herself and is driven to do so by her abusive boyfriend. The attempted suicide is graphic.

Profanity

  • There is lots of swearing throughout the movie including "fuck" and "motherfucker". There is rare use of "cunt" but it is used very graphically once by a man towards a woman.
  • There is frequent and at times, concentrated use of the expletive 'f**k', with some utterance of the expletive 'motherf***er'. Various characters integrate these expletives into their daily speech and typically use it in an off-handed manner. In some instances, the characters use expletives out of frustration or anger.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • There is a lot of drug use throughout the film including heroin dealing, preparation and injecting. In one scene, a character nearly dies of an overdose. This is all extremely graphic.
  • The film contains several scenes where illegal drug use is depicted. Characters are shown preparing syringes, wrapping tourniquets around their arms and administering the drugs intravenously.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In the opening scene, someone self harms with a razor blade, it is brief but may potentially be distressing for anyone who is sensitive to this kind of imagery

Spoilers

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

Violence & Gore

  • A woman slits open her wrist. She starts screaming and an ambulance is called immediately after. She is later shown with bandages over her wrists several times in the film. Brief but disturbing.
  • Two men get into a fight which results them rolling down a hill and one of them throwing a self-made shuriken made out of razors into the other's hand. Once again only shown briefly, but it's quite disturbing. The man is later shown bandaging his hand
  • A man burns to death after a candle knocks over and lights first his house on fire and then him. He runs around screaming before collapsing and dying. A disturbing yet unrealistic close-up is shown of his face as he dies.
