Respect

A woman's life is depicted as being controlled by male figures, including her father and spouse who turn to physical abuse in moments of anger or jealousy. The violence is shown only briefly and without strong detail.

There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), moderate bad language ('bitch', 'whore') and milder terms including 'piss', 'shit', 'ass', 'asshole', 'damn', 'hell' and 'Christ'.

There are mild sex references.

Discriminatory language includes peer-to-peer and self-referential uses of 'n****r' by African-American figures, as well as the term 'negro', reflecting the period in which the events of the film take place. There are also general references to racial discrimination and segregation, and the anti-racist aims of the American Civil Rights movement. Discrimination is not endorsed by the film as a whole.

There is a brief and discreet implication of a young girl's sexual abuse by a man which the child subsequently refuses to talk about.

There are scenes of emotional upset, including a child's reaction on learning of the death of a parent and a woman's turmoil as the pressures of her career lead to alcoholism and mental instability.
