Better Days

A woman repeatedly slaps another, however, this is played for comic effect.

A jeep flips and crashes during an intense scene. There is another vehicle incident in which a woman neglects to put her parking brake on, causing her car to roll backwards and crash into a stationary car. Scenes of threat result in ultimately reassuring outcomes.

There is strong language ('f**k'), as well as use of milder terms including 'shit', 'ass', 'bastard', 'jerk' and 'hell'.

Verbal sex references and innuendo occur, including a comic remark about ‘threesomes’.

There is a passing verbal reference to rape and incest.

Following a vehicle crash, people are shown with cuts and scratches across their faces.

There are upsetting depictions of, and references to, the effects of alcoholism on personal lives, relationships and health. These are counterbalanced by positive and reassuring messages. References are also made to death and bereavement.

There is a theme of alcoholism which occurs within the context of rehabilitation. People are shown drinking to excess and relapsing during their recovery. However, excessive alcohol misuse is condemned and accompanied by cautionary messages.
