sex
There are scenes of strong sex, without nudity.
additional issues
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k') as well as milder terms such as 'shit', 'piss', 'ass', 'God' and 'hell'. A woman is sexually harassed by a man, who urinates in front of her and tries coerce her to go on a date with him; she is defiant and the man quickly gets his comeuppance. It is implied that a woman is being seduced by a character who exerts a supernatural influence upon her. A young pregnant woman attempts to throw herself from a balcony but is saved; there are other undetailed verbal references to suicide. Scenes of supernatural threat include a man shapeshifting into a demonic figure and a woman manipulating the internal organs of others. We see brief, moderately bloody images of organs such as a brain and a heart. There are scenes of childbirth in which a woman in labour becomes distressed. A character is seriously ill with cancer.
