language
There is infrequent use of very strong language (‘c**t’) and more frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bitch’, ‘piss’, ‘arse’, ‘bloody’, ‘balls’ and ‘shit’, in addition to use of the ‘middle finger’ gesture.
additional issues
Scenes of bereavement and emotional upset run throughout the film, and include a distressing sequence in which the families of the lost miners react with shock and dismay to the news that their loved ones have died. The disaster itself is not depicted, but a grainy photo of the aftermath contains an indistinct image of a dead body, without visible injuries. Other scenes contain references to cancer. There are also infrequent moderate sex references and crude humour, and brief misuse of marijuana.
