Sex & Nudity

  • A man and woman are shown in bed two times together. It is implied that they are unmarried and have just had sex. The man is bare-chested. In one of these scenes, the woman gets out of bed and the viewer can see that she is also bare-chested (there is a very brief view of the side of her breast as she gets up).
  • Some scenes of girls dressing in turn of the century style clothing.
  • Two men have sexual themed discussions about teenage girls. No explicit language or graphic descriptions merely appreciating the girls beauty.
  • A reference is made by a girl to seeing one of the teachers in her underwear.
  • A doctor who examined one of the girls says that she was "intact" (unbroken hymen) implying that he believed that she was never sexually assaulted.

Violence & Gore

  • A young lady who had been injured is shown on-screen (it may be disturbing)
  • At the end of the movie a dead girl is shown and there is some blood

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some cigarette smoking.
  • A teacher is seen taking some whisky
  • In a few scenes young men are seen drinking beer and wine
  • Two woman are drinking alchohol while eating dinner

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There is a particularly disturbing sequence where a group of young girls disappear into the woods and seem to be in a trance like state of hypnosis over something that is hinted to be in Hanging Rock as they ignore one of the screaming girls who runs back to the group. The scene is quite eerie and many are likely to find it somewhat unsettling. It is more psychologically or existentially bothersome than horror movie scary.
