The Appleton Ladies' Potato Race

language

There is use of strong language ('f**k'), which is accompanied by moderate ('dickhead', 'slut', 'bitch', 'cock') and milder terms ('shit', 'bullshit', 'bloody', 'crap', 'arsehole', 'bugger', 'bastard', 'piss', 'hell' and 'Christ').

discrimination

The film follows a woman's campaign to tackle gender discrimination in an annual local sporting competition. Some characters oppose the change and express sexist views. Sexism sometimes meets other forms of discrimination, including a man confronting a woman in a bar, referring to her as a 'lezzo' and another man as a 'limp dick f**k'. Other discriminatory terms include 'homos' and 'chicks', and brief references to homophobic and mental health discrimination also feature. However, none of these views are condoned by the film as a whole, which fiercely condemns discrimination of all kinds.

drugs

There are occasional scenes of drug misuse in which a man smokes a joint. There are also verbal references to the man's misuse, which is linked to his struggles with mental health and leads to his young son accidentally ingesting some of his cannabis; however, this instance ends without serious harm, and all drug misuse and references are clearly accompanied by aversive messaging.

rude humour

A pregnant woman makes a crude, yet comic, remark about keeping her 'clunge' in place during a race.

additional issues: The film also contains scenes of emotional upset, some of which see characters struggling with mental health as a result of familial struggles, belonging and cyberbullying. However, such issues are handled sensitively and result in reassuring outcomes. A scene of childbirth contains very mild bloody detail.
