violence
Several scenes show a woman secretly dosing her vulnerable mother with unprescribed antipsychotics in order to ‘manage’ her behaviour. There are non-graphic references to the woman having been hit by her mother as a child, and on one occasion having been forced to eat a cigarette. We are also told that her mother killed her pet fish, though we later learn that this was merely a lie designed by her mother to hurt her. Another scene contains mild references to modern slavery and associated violence.
language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’, ‘behench*d’). Milder terms include ‘chutiya’, ‘bitch’, ‘bullshit’ and ‘bastard’.
drugs
A person who is rumoured to deal drugs provides a woman with unprescribed medication intended to help treat her mother’s illness.
injury detail
We hear a quiet 'crack' sound as a person's dislocated arm is relocated, but there is no clear visual detail.
theme
There are upsetting scenes throughout the film involving issues such as illness, death and bereavement. These include scenes in which a woman must decide whether to place her ailing and increasingly confused mother in a care home.
