The Critic

There is use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bugger’, ‘bastard’, ‘bloody’, ‘sod’, ‘shit’, ‘arse’, 'God' and 'damn'.

There are references to sex work, and to a character’s preference for ‘rough sex’. The term ‘f**k’ is used in the sexual sense. There is brief partial rear nudity as a person gets out of bed after implied off-screen sex.

There are scenes of implicitly criticised historical homophobia and racism, including use of terms such as ‘queer’ and ‘sod’. Two men are arrested and subsequently interrogated by police for kissing in the street, an act described by various characters using terms such as as ‘unnatural’, ‘indecent’ and ‘perversion’. A gang of white supremacists confront a same-sex couple in a threatening manner. In another scene a woman complains that she should ‘never have married a Jew’.

A person attempts to coerce a woman into having a sexual relationship with a man by threatening her career. Another man is blackmailed using threats of a false accusation of ‘assault’.

A person takes their own life off screen. Other scenes contain non-graphic verbal references to suicide and attempted suicide.

There are brief images of an undetailed dead body following off-screen violence.

Characters are shown getting drunk and smoking cigarettes.
