violence
During what initially appears to be a moderate sex scene, a woman straddles a shirtless man on a bed and stabs him multiple times, with brief bloody aftermath detail. The scene is repeated later in the film.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘dick’, ‘bastard’ and ‘shit’.
sex
Sex references are moderate and infrequently crude. A visually discreet sex scene shows a couple's head and shoulders as they embrace.
sexual violence and sexual threat
Scenes of sexual violence are distressing but devoid of graphic visual detail. In one scene, a man pins his teenage niece with his body while she screams and struggles. In another sequence, a man violently attacks his wife and attempts to rape her, bloodying her nose and lip in the process.
injury detail
We see bloody stab wounds on a man’s abdomen in the aftermath of violence.
theme
There are upsetting scenes of emotional distress.
