violence

language

There is strong language ('f**k'), and milder terms including 'bloody' and 'shit'.

discrimination

Racism towards indigenous people in Australia is a theme of the film; a man is called 'n****r' and 'black bastard' during a violent assault. There is also sexist behaviour. Discrimination is not condoned, and reflects the period in which the story takes place.

sexual violence and sexual threat

There is a scene in which a man rapes a semi-conscious woman. In a later scene, he attempts to rape her again, but she defends herself by using a knife to mutilate his genitals. Both scenes are depicted with limited visual detail.

additional issues: In one sequence, a heavily pregnant woman suffers a miscarriage. There are also moderate sex references.
