Sex & Nudity
-
- Some nudity but not graphic at all.
- A man is described as a "rapist" Though this is never seen or talked about again.
- In the brief orgy scene in the motel, there are some blink and you will miss it, some bare breasts( some nipples visible). A man's buttocks is seen graphically, and a few other men and women buttocks that are a bit blurry. No genital nudity.
- Lots of themes of sexuality, lots of sex talk, and aspirations to lose one's virginity, to rape, and to get laid.
- Two different scenes where guys are completely naked other than their hands slightly covering their genitals. We see pubic hair and lots of side butt, but they manage to hide the rest.
- We hear a woman recount an extremely graphic sex act that involves anal and using bananas. We then cut to see a banana and active, writhing nude bodies blurred behind it.

Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A man is forced to watch his girlfriend be raped in front of him. We see flashes of skin in quick cuts but nothing critical, just the insinuation that forced sex is occurring. This may be disturbing or triggering to some viewers.
- A man is shown having to strip for a police check. You only see his chest and this is not graphic and not sexual.
Violence & Gore

- Two children are shot in the foot, one of them is then shot in the head (strong bloody detail).
- A couple is attacked in the street by a gang. They are dragged to an alley, where the woman is implied to be raped by the gang leader, who makes derogatory comments and shoots a gun at her incapacitated date. The couple are shown terrorized, sobbing, suffering, etc. The scene is depicted as fragmented, violent, and frightening.
