There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t') and strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms which include 'bitch', 'wanker', 'shit', 'crap' and 'arse'.
sex
We see a fully clothed teenage girl masturbating by moving her hand beneath her unzipped jeans. The girl later masturbates a teenage boy in his bed, but we do not see this act in detail.
injury detail
A girl seems to vomit up bloody matter into a sink; she then puts her fingers into her mouth and removes more small bloody objects. A man is stabbed, resulting in sight of blood on a knife and bloodstains over his clothing.
theme
A teenager experiences difficulty in distinguishing reality from the fantasy of a virtual reality video game, resulting in delusions and mental health concerns. At one point, she puts a kitchen knife to her wrist but ultimately does not inflict harm on herself.
A teenage girl pushes her mother over during an argument, resulting in a head injury. We see a close up shot of a dead cat in a plastic bag. A girl in the real world is pinned on the floor and strangled by a fantastical creature from a video game. Video game addiction is a theme of the film.
