language
There is moderate bad language ('slut') and milder terms which include 'blinking' and 'darn'.
theme
There are upsetting scenes in which a baby dies from an unspecified illness; the baby's body is not shown. There are verbal references to the historic murder and to the illegal burial of an infant. 'Baby-farming' for illegal adoption is a theme of the film.
additional issues
A pregnant woman is pushed down a flight of stairs, but the fall and her injury is not shown on screen. A woman is slapped in the face by another, and there is a brief scuffle with hair-pulling. There are verbal references to the murder of a woman by a man, which involved him covering her mouth with his hand. There are undetailed mild sex references, including the implication that a woman may be a sex worker, and we are told a woman fell pregnant after being "taken advantage of". A pregnant woman is threatened with being left to die after an accident. There are brief, undetailed references to mental health concerns. A child is referred to as being 'backwards'.
