UNCLE FRANK is a US drama, set in 1973, in which an 18-year-old, who recently discovered her uncle's hidden sexuality, accompanies him and his partner on a road trip.

language
There is strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), accompanied by milder terms, including 'slut', 'bitch', 'piss', 'asshole', 'ass', 'bullshit', 'shit', 'God', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'hell', 'jerk', 'screw' and 'damn'.
sex
There are some sex references, including a young man attempting to seduce his college lecturer with the line, "My blowjobs are like poetry". Other sexual activity is moderate, without nudity.
discrimination
Homophobia is a theme of the work as a man is forced to reveal his hidden sexuality to his conservative family. There is use of directed and aggressive discriminatory language ('faggot', 'queer'), some of which is spoken by the protagonist himself, during an emotional, violent outburst towards his lover. However, the work as a whole clearly does not condone discriminatory attitudes.
additional issues
There is a scene in which a man smokes a joint. There is also the aftermath of a suicide, shown in the form of a flashback.
