language
Frequent use of strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by moderate ('dick', 'bitch', 'prick') and milder terms such as 'asshole', 'piss', 'shit', 'Jesus' and 'Christ'.
drugs
There are scenes of joint and bong smoking and a child references that his father is stoned.
additional issues
A child, who has been diagnosed as autistic, has intense reactions to certain situations, often becoming overwhelmed and frustrated. In one scene, he runs out of his house and is nearly hit by a car. References are made to a doctor prescribing him antipsychotic medications which his father is not happy about. There are mentions to him being bullied at school and a teenager calls him a 'freak'. Another character uses the term 'retard'; both terms are clearly condemned by other characters and by the film as a whole. There are some upsetting scenes in which his family struggle with his condition. Brief references are made to suicide, domestic abuse and self-harm. There are occasional moderate sex references.
