language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘shit’, ‘ass’, ‘asshole’ and ‘merde’. There is also peer-to-peer use of racial language such as ‘monkey’ and ‘coloured’.
drugs
A psychic experiences a vision of a man injecting himself with heroin.
sexual violence and sexual threat
Two flashback scenes show a man kissing his 14-year-old daughter on the mouth. In one of those flashbacks we see the father forcefully restraining the girl during the kiss and striking her when she manages to struggle away.
additional issues
There are brief moderate sequences of sex, including a fleeting black-and-white image of a woman riding a man in bed, with rear nudity, and others in which a child accidentally witnesses a clothed man and woman thrusting and moaning together. Occasional verbal sex references include uses of the term ‘f**k’ in the sexual sense. Infrequent moderate scenes of violence show people being shot, without bloody detail. A woman slaps her daughter for disobedience, and in another scene a girl tries to get her hands around her sister’s throat during a heated scuffle. After an off-screen traffic accident, we briefly see a dead child lying on the ground, but there are no visible injuries. Other issues include scenes of emotional upset and bereavement.
