language
There is strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), as well as moderate bad language ('slut', 'screw'); other milder terms include 'shit', 'piss', 'God', 'hell' and 'damn'.
drugs
Several scenes feature cannabis smoking; in an extended sequence a character ingests hallucinogenic mushrooms and experiences a 'trip'.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A flashback sequence reveals that one of the character's experienced sexual abuse as a child. We see the perpetrator with the victim in a bedroom setting, although the sexual abuse is only implied.
additional issues
Sex scenes are brief and feature moaning rather than clear nudity or stronger detail. There are verbal references to pornography, adultery and polyamorous relationships. People smoke tobacco and drink alcohol; one sequence features underage drinking. Moments of violence include a punch and a blow to the head with an improvised weapon but these are brief and any visual detail is limited. There are references to miscarriage, terminal illness and death.
