Pure Grit

violence

References to domestic abuse include scenes in which a young woman relates how her father forced her to drink alcohol at the age of fourteen. She explains how this led to her dependency on alcohol but that she stopped drinking in order to set a better example for others. There are references to a mother's attempts to kill her daughter.

drugs

There is brief drug misuse in scenes in which marijuana joints are smoked and passed. A young woman pleads guilty in court for driving under the influence of drink and drugs. A judge spares her jail but warns her that she will be jailed if she reoffends. Accordingly, drug misuse is not condoned by the work as a whole.

sexual violence and sexual threat

The film contains verbal references to child sexual abuse from an early age, and a young woman talks about how she subsequently developed an eating disorder as a result of her sexual abuse. She explains that she subsequently testified against her abuser, and states that he was jailed for his crimes. A young woman states that her mother took her to hotels when she was accompanied by men.

disturbing images

There are scenes of animal butchery, as well as scenes featuring dead animals who have been hunted for food. There are also brief bloody images, including sight of blood on bodies.

additional issues: Undetailed verbal suicide references include a scene in which people briefly grieve at the grave of a young man with mental health issues who took his own life. There is mild bad language ('shit', 'piss', fricking', 'ass'), as well as milder terms (for example, 'God', 'damn'). References are made to injury, including scenes in which people fall off horses. There are scenes featuring a young woman who was paralysed following a fall from a horse, and a scene in which a young woman recovers in hospital following a fall. Sequences of emotional upset include those in which young women talk about the ending of their relationship. There are also mild verbal sex references.
