BEN X
Contains bullying and suicide theme
suicide and self-harm
Ben's mental state progressively worsens before he finally tries to fight back. At one point he holds a shard of glass from a shattered mirror above his wrist. We see blood on his other hand. He likens the blood to the "beautiful" blood seen in a video game. Ben's girlfriend Scarlite also discusses various methods of suicide with him, including hanging and poison. The film does not portray suicide as being pain free and handles the subject with considerable sensitivity.
theme
Ben is mercilessly bullied throughout the film by two teenage schoolboys, who in one sequence not only beat him but also force feed him an ecstasy tablet.
additional issues
There are infrequent moderate sex references, fantastical video game clips depicting spurts of blood, and an aggressive use of "f**k off" as well as repeated instances of "faggot" or "faggots" (as directed by the bullies towards Ben).
