language
There is strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder bad language such as 'dick', 'crap', 'shit', 'ass', 'screw you', 'moron', 'God', 'damn', 'Jesus Christ' and 'hell'.
theme
An 11-year-old, born into the female gender, asserts his wish to identify as a boy. Whilst one parent accepts his gender identity, the other parent does not and lacks understanding about trans issues. The son encounters discrimination from a boy of his own age who sees him dressed in a boyish way and, out of ignorance, refers to him as a "dyke". The film deals sympathetically with the issue of gender identity.
additional issues
There are references to mental health issues, including bipolar disorder. Moderate threat includes a child falling into a river and being swept along by the current, but there is a reassuring outcome. Moderate violence includes punches, as well as undetailed shootings with some bloody aftermath detail. There are mild sex references, including the implication that a couple have had sex in the cab of a truck. There is mild rude humour.
