violence
A man strikes his pregnant girlfriend during an argument, leaving dark bruises on her face. In another scene one person beats another to death with their fists, resulting in bloody aftermath detail.
sex
A woman wearing a gimp mask is shown vigorously penetrating a handcuffed man, who has cocaine smeared over his face, with a dildo; the penetration occurs below frame but is accompanied by graphic sound effects. In another scene a man is shown masturbating while facing away from the screen, with rear nudity in addition to a fleeting, shadowy glimpse of his genitals as he turns to face the screen. There are also occasional strong visual and verbal sex references.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
People are shown snorting and vaping drugs, and there is a brief verbal reference to huffing paint. There are references to sexual violence, including a scene in which a man becomes distressed when he is told, in crude terms, that he was involved in a 'threesome' while blacking out from intoxication. There is use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’), in addition to milder terms (e.g. ‘cock’, ‘pussy’, ‘bitch’, ‘dick’, ‘shit’, ‘ass’, ‘piss’). It is implied that a person takes their own life off screen. Other issues include scenes of threat, moderate verbal references to abortion, a brief scene of racist behaviour by an unlikable character, and a sequence of vomiting.
