RUBY'S CHOICE is an Australian drama film in which a woman enlists the help of her teenage daughter to take care of her mother, who is displaying symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. 

threat and horror
There is moderate threat when three young men taunt a vulnerable woman by throwing her handbag to each other over her head. There are also scenes in which the relatives of an unwell woman panic when she goes missing. In scenes of mild bullying, two boys on a school bus pull the hair of two female students and shove a male student who tries to stand up for them. 
language
There is implied strong language ('effing') and uses of 'dickwad', 'douche', 'bloody', crappy', 'piss', 'shit', 'damn', 'hell' and 'God'. There is also a rude middle finger gesture.
theme
There are scenes of emotional distress as a woman with Alzheimer's becomes increasingly confused and disorientated. In one scene she sobs as she realises that she has wet herself. There are also references to bereavement and divorce. 
additional issues
There is mild violence when a young man punches another young man and a teenager hits him in the crotch using an umbrella. A woman refers to her mother smacking her when she was a child. There is a close up on a dead pet fish.
