threat and horror
There is a sequence in which Blunt refers to a tunnel in Kosovo being booby-trapped with anti-personnel mines before an engineer managed to defuse the devices.
language
There is infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t') which lacks aggravating issues. There is also strong language ('f**k'), implied very strong and strong language ('c***t', 'WTF'), as well as milder terms including 'bitch', 'whore', 'wanker', 'cock', 'twat', 'shit', 'bullshit', 'tits', 'arsehole', 'arse', 'bastard', 'ass', 'git', 'bloody', 'balls', 'dork', 'hell', 'God', and 'heck'.
sex
There are comic sex references, including to autoerotic asphyxiation and anal sex. There is sexualised female breast nudity in a sequence in which Blunt refers to women selling stories about sleeping with him. A woman's cleavage is autographed. There are also references to escorts and to sleeping with women; however, these references lack strong detail.
drugs
There are references to drug misuse, including to cocaine snorting, as well as brief sight of a person rolling a marijuana joint. Blunt refers to a concert crowd fight and consequent police intervention, and claims the violence was the result of people taking ketamine. An artist says that she ejected someone from her studio "for doing cocaine". Drug misuse is not condoned by the work as a whole.
injury detail
A comic scene includes a person with blood trickling from their ears.
rude humour
There is rude humour in scenes in which people refer to using the toilet on a tour bus.
theme
During a sequence relating to Blunt's military service there are verbal references to murder and genocide. References are made to Blunt's hostile treatment by the press. These scenes are followed by aggressive and unkind comments posted on social media, such as people expressing a wish for Blunt to take his own life. Blunt refers to his time at boarding school, during which he was forced to run through stinging nettles. There are also references to illness, including to a chronic kidney disease; however, this is reassuringly resolved when it is reported that a kidney transplant match was found.
alcohol and smoking
There are brief scenes in which adults consume alcohol.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
