Note: The following text may contain spoilers

LIFE is a drama about the brief collaboration between Magnum photographer Dennis Stock and Hollywood star James Dean that gave rise to several iconic images of the actor.

Sex: In one scene a clothed couple have sex standing up in the washroom of a bar. The woman, her stocking tops and suspenders exposed, has her thighs wrapped around her partner's waist as he thrusts into her.
Drugs: There is a scene of implied Benzedrine use by the couple having sex, with the man asking how long they will take to 'kick in'. At the conclusion of the sex scene the man is given the bottle of remaining Benzedrine tablets.

Other issues include two uses of strong language ('f**k'), moderate verbal sex references, female breast nudity, and frequent scenes of adult cigarette smoking.
