Sex & Nudity
-
- In some scenes, Jonas is seen with his bare chest.
- Human sexuality is a core theme to the movie, especially the suppression of such emotions by the Community. However, it is always explored in an introspective way, and is never graphic or exploitive.
- Some kissing
Violence & Gore
-
- A teen punches another teen in the face
- In a memory several grown men hunt and kill an elephant (no blood is seen).
- The Giver accidentally gives Jonas the memory of war. During the memory a man is shot in the chest and dies, some blood is seen. Then a man jumps out of a tree to attack and Jonas shoots him repeatedly.
Profanity
-

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes
