violence
Occasional moderate violence includes punches, slaps and hair-pulling.
threat and horror
A man is cornered and beaten up by a group of men in a dark alley. A woman imagines being menaced by zombies during a sequence of moderate fantasy threat.
language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bitch’, ‘whore’, ‘slut’, ‘hooker’ and ‘shit’.
sex
Infrequent strong sex scenes show couples thrusting together in various positions. Other scenes contain crude references to sex work and oral sex.
discrimination
People make derogatory comments about sex workers and supposedly ‘promiscuous’ women, using discriminatory terms such as ‘slut’, ‘whore’, ‘dirty’ and ‘used’. One woman addresses another as ‘fatty’. Discrimination is not condoned by the film as a whole.
drugs
A woman takes an unidentified pill following a fraught argument.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A series of flashbacks strongly implies that a man allowed other men to sexually abuse his underage daughter in return for money; though distressing, the flashbacks are brief and devoid of graphic visual detail. During a scene of sexual threat, a man enters a woman’s flat without invitation, corners her and sexually propositions her, refusing to leave even after she slaps him and threatens to scream. However, she is rescued when another person intervenes. There are occasional scenes of sexual harassment, including ones in which a male client flirts with a female masseuse and implies that he expects her to perform a sexual act; the masseuse initially refuses his advances but later begins a romantic relationship with him. In another scene a woman has sex with a man while under the influence of alcohol.
suicide and self-harm
Brief flashbacks to a suicide attempt feature close-up bloody detail.
injury detail
There are brief close-up images of a bleeding wound during flashbacks to a suicide attempt.
nudity
There is occasional brief male buttock nudity in a non-sexual context, as well as fleeting partial rear nudity during a sex scene.
rude humour
A woman drunkenly vomits over another person. Further rude humour includes fart gags and conversations about 'poop'.
theme
There are occasional scenes of emotional upset. A man emotionally blackmails his adult daughter into paying off his gambling debts.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
