violence
A man jokes about torturing a celebrity.
language
There is infrequent use of very strong language (‘c**t’) and frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’). Milder terms include ‘twat’, ‘pussy’, ‘dick’, ‘wanker’, ‘bitch’, 'prick', 'whore', 'cock', 'arse', 'tits', 'arsehole', ‘bollocks’, ‘piss’, ‘shit’, 'bullshit', ‘hell’ and ‘God’.
sex
When a couple has sex, there is visible thrusting and breast nudity. There is also a scene of implied, below frame masturbation which is interrupted, after which a man's erect penis can fleetingly be seen covered by his underwear. Crude but undetailed verbal references are made to fetishes, oral and anal sex, and sex work.
discrimination
There is infrequent use of discriminatory terms such as 'retard' and 'queer'. Discrimination is not endorsed by the film as a whole.
drugs
People roll, smoke and share marijuana joints, and a man smokes from a homemade bong. There is sight of other drug preparation, including a man cutting up lines of cocaine and applying the drug to gums. Verbal references are made to a number of drugs, and it is implied that people have taken and are experiencing the effects of Ecstasy.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A woman is harassed by a co-worker, although this behaviour is condemned.
nudity
Comic male buttock nudity occurs in some sequences.
theme
There are brief references to a person suffering from mental health issues.
alcohol and smoking
People are frequently seen smoking cigarettes.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
Passed '18' for references to drugs and coarse language
