language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘shit’, ‘arse’, ‘arsehole’, ‘tits’, ‘bloody’, ‘piss’ and ‘mentalist’, as well as use of the ‘middle finger’ gesture.
theme
There are flashbacks to a child struggling in water as a woman recalls her mother nearly allowing her to drown. In other scenes a man neglects his young son's emotional welfare and pressures him into participating in criminal behaviour.
additional issues
A man aggressively shoves a woman to the ground and attempts to smear lipstick onto her face in a scene of moderate violence. There are occasional upsetting scenes, including one in which a woman suffers a panic attack. There are infrequent moderate sex references, infrequent moderate threat, and brief mild references to drug dealing. There is also brief bloody detail when a woman who has recently given birth washes off in the bath. A fox is run over by a car, without visible injury detail.
