violence
There is an undetailed knife slashing during a darkly lit scene, resulting in blood spurts and sight of a severed penis on the ground. There is close-up focus on broken glass lodged in a comatose woman’s neck in the aftermath of violence, with accompanying bloody detail. Milder moments include a prolonged fight sequence using improvised weapons and a character being hit by a speeding vehicle. A woman imagines breaking a character’s neck and drowning them in a swimming pool.
language
Occasional strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') occurs, as well as moderate bad language ('bitch') and milder terms such as 'bullshit', 'shit', 'God', 'hell' and 'damn'.
sex
Comic strong sex references occur, including those that discuss erections, penis sizes and intercourse. Characters remark on the phallic shape of an ornament.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A character uploads a woman's sex tape online without her permission; however, the video lacks any visual detail. A senior male executive at a company attempts to force a colleague to perform oral sex on him; this is brief and another character quickly intervenes. An unsympathetic male character pins a woman onto a table during a scene of sexual threat, but she manages to escape. A woman forces another character to use a phallic shaped object to stimulate her off-screen. There is a focus on the victims' distress during these sequences and the perpetrators' behaviour results in negative consequences.
theme
Verbal and visual references to baby loss occur, including a flashback scene in which an upset little girl pushes her pregnant mother, resulting in sight of blood on the floor. This theme is dealt with sensitively.
alcohol and smoking
Scenes feature adults vaping and drinking alcohol.
